Many Russian poets and writers joined Vietnamese poetry lovers at an annual poetic gala in Moscow on February 21.

At the gala night, which usually falls on the fifteenth night of the first lunar month, the attendants recited poetic works of President Ho Chi Minh and well-known Vietnamese poets, and introduced their new works, some written in Vietnamese, about their homeland, love and friendship.
