🇷🇺🇻🇳 In Hanoi, President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin and President of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam To Lam held talks with the participation of official delegations.
💬 Vladimir Putin: Strengthening our comprehensive strategic partnership with Vietnam remains one of our top priorities.
You mentioned that we are currently celebrating the 30th Anniversary of the Treaty on the Principles of Friendly Relations. Throughout these years, we have maintained regular and meaningful political engagements, involving parliaments, ministries, departments, political parties, regions, and civil society organisations. Recently, you also visited Russia in your capacity as Minister of Public Security.
Trade and economic relations continue to advance progressively. Last year, trade turnover increased by eight percent, thanks in part to the close cooperation of intergovernmental commissions on both sides. The growth in trade turnover is also bolstered by the implementation of the 2015 free trade agreement between the EAEU and Vietnam.
We coordinate our efforts in the international arena. Russia places significant emphasis on enhancing dialogue with the Association of Southeast Asian Nations, with Vietnam being a prominent member.

🇷🇺🇻🇳 President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin met with Prime Minister of the Government of Vietnam Pham Minh Chinh
💬 Vladimir Putin: The Russian-Vietnamese relations of trust and mutual understanding have come a long way <...> and have stood the test of time with honour.
The Soviet Union, as you also noted, provided effective assistance in the Vietnamese people’s heroic struggle against the French and later the American invaders, and subsequently contributed to the peaceful development of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam.
In recent decades, we have significantly expanded the legal framework for cooperation. In addition to the cornerstone Treaty on Foundations of Friendly Relations, which just recently turned 30 years old, more than 80 interstate and intergovernmental agreements are now in place between our countries. A number of important bilateral documents were also signed during the current visit.

Educational cooperation continues; the government has established a quota of 1,000 university scholarships with state grants to admit Vietnamese citizens next year.
Russia will host Days of Vietnamese Culture this year. Vietnamese athletes took part in the #BRICS Games earlier this month.
Many Russian cities and regions, including Moscow, St Petersburg, the Kaluga, Rostov and Ulyanovsk regions, are active in cooperating with cities and provinces of Vietnam.
🤝 I would like to underscore that despite all the current challenges, we are committed to strengthening the comprehensive strategic partnership between the Russian Federation and the Socialist Republic of Vietnam, and we will do our utmost to advance it. I hope that this visit will serve to strengthen our ties; I have no doubt about it.

🇷🇺🇻🇳 Russia's President Vladimir Putin and President of Vietnam To Lam made statements to the media (June 20, 2024)
💬 Vladimir Putin: Russia places great emphasis on further strengthening the Russian-Vietnamese comprehensive, long-standing and friendly relations, our strategic partnership. Our ties continue to expand and progress in the spirit of equality, mutual respect and consideration of each other’s interests. Our countries are linked by a strong bond of shared history. Next year will mark 75 years of diplomatic relations between Russia and Vietnam. <...>
Today, Comrade President and I have adopted a statement that supports the principles of the Russian-Vietnamese comprehensive strategic partnership and announces new guidelines for our joint work in the future.
☝️ I would like to mention the tangible benefits our friends have derived from the Free Trade Agreement with the Eurasian Economic Union. Enacted in 2016, it has since then vastly promoted growth in Russian-Vietnamese trade through favourable conditions for access of goods and services to each other’s markets, also fostering investment, technology exchange and innovation.
Equally important is that our countries are consistently pursuing the transition to settlements in national currencies and striving to create sustainable channels of cooperation in lending activities and banking.
⚛️ A strategic point of our bilateral cooperation is the energy sector. <...> Russia and Vietnam have excellent opportunities for cooperation in renewable energy. <...> Another promising area for expanding bilateral cooperation is nuclear energy.
We consider our cooperation on the Vladivostok – Ho Chi Minh City maritime transport corridor, a large-scale infrastructure project, to be highly promising. Since its opening in 2022, this corridor has facilitated regular cargo shipments with container ships operating on a weekly basis.
Currently, more than 3,000 undergraduate and postgraduate students from Vietnam are studying in Russian universities.
🤝 Russia's and Vietnam's respective stances on these issues are largely in accord or closely aligned. Our countries remain committed to the principles of the rule of international law, sovereignty, and non-interference in countries' domestic affairs. They coordinate their efforts on key international platforms, including the UN, as well as within the #RussiaASEAN dialogue and at summits in East Asia.
During our discussion on the situation in the Asia-Pacific region, we expressed mutual interest in building a strong and reliable security architecture in the Asia-Pacific region based on the principles of the non-use of force and peaceful settlement of disputes, with no room for closed military-political blocs.

🇻🇳 On September 2, the Socialist Republic of Vietnam celebrates Independence Day.
Since mid-19th century, Vietnam was under French colonial rule and was later occupied by militaristic Japan during World War II. The victory of the August Revolution in 1945 ended foreign domination and established Vietnam as an independent state.
#OnThisDay 79 years ago, President Ho Chi Minh declared the establishment of the Democratic Republic of Vietnam in Ba Dinh Square in the capital.
The Soviet Union was among the first countries to recognize the new Vietnamese state, establishing diplomatic relations on January 30, 1950. This pivotal recognition laid the groundwork for many years of friendship and mutually beneficial cooperation between our nations.
The people of Vietnam had to fight for their freedom for many years, initially during the Resistance War from 1946 to 1954, and later in the struggle against foreign aggression led by the USA, which was marked by egregious war crimes against civilians. Throughout these challenging times, the Soviet Union stood by the Vietnamese people, offering them unwavering support.
✊ In 1975, this valiant struggle culminated in the reunification of the country and the establishment of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam.
Today, Vietnam is a rapidly developing state and an active participant in both regional and international organizations.
🤝 Modern-day Russia-Vietnam relations are built on a foundation of enduring friendship and mutually beneficial cooperation, characterized by a comprehensive strategic partnership. We have a robust political dialogue, and our trade, economic, technological, and cultural and humanitarian ties are steadily growing. Political contacts and negotiations at high and the highest levels occur regularly.
🎉 We extend our heartfelt congratulations to our Vietnamese colleagues and friends on their national holiday! We wish them peace, prosperity, and success.

The Intergovernmental Commission on Trade, Economic, Scientific and Technical Cooperation is working smoothly, and the agreements reached at the highest and intergovernmental levels are being consistently implemented.
Russia and Vietnam are cooperating in the energy sector, industrial production, agriculture, and education.
⚡️ This year, we have allocated an additional quota of 1,000 state-funded places for Vietnamese students at Russian universities.
