Russia always views Viet Nam as one of its leading partners in Asia-Pacific, he stated, recalling his visit to Viet Namin January this year.

General Secretary Lam mentioned the Russian PM’s official visit to Viet Namin January and President Vladimir Putin’s state visit in June 2024.

He said the trip this time reflects the Vietnamese Party and State’s high regard for the traditional friendship and comprehensive strategic partnership with Russia, as well as both sides’ strong political determination to further intensify bilateral relations.

He emphasised that the Party, State, and people of Viet Namalways treasure and keep in mind the precious support from the former Soviet Union and today’s Russia to the struggle for national liberation in the past and the national construction and safeguarding process at present.

The Party leader proposed the two sides continue enhancing the comprehensive strategic partnership by further strengthening political trust through increased mutual visits at all levels, improving the efficiency of the Inter-governmental Committee and its member working groups, and bolstering defence – security cooperation.

He also suggested further reinforcing collaboration in energy – oil and gas, along with nuclear energy; expanding ties to the field of new energy, particularly clean energy, renewable energy, and wind power; further promoting economic, trade, and investment cooperation and cooperation effectiveness; and stepping up partnerships in the fields in which they have traditional relations and advantages such as education – training, science – technology, locality-to-locality links, transport, and tourism.

Besides, favourable conditions should also be created for the Vietnamese people to live, study, and work stably in Russia, he added.
