The following conclusions are made: people-to-people diplomacy is an important tool for the implementation of modern foreign policy of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam. The development of people-to-people relations can not only strengthen the social base for the Russian-Vietnamese comprehensive strategic partnership, but also improve the understanding of Russian society and Vietnamese diaspora in Vietnam's foreign affairs at the beginning of the XXI century.
