Tran Hoai Ngan from Russia said after the visit: "I have read a lot about Vietnam on the internet. Coming to Vietnam in person, I see that what was said on the internet did not fully reflect the reality. I see that Vietnam’s border management is good, unlike reports on the internet that Vietnam has lost sovereignty over some of its territory, I now know the truth and I love my homeland more."
