🇻🇳 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.

🗓 #OnThisDay 7️⃣5️⃣ years ago — on February 3, 1950 — the USSR and Indonesia established diplomatic relations.
🇷🇺🇮🇩 The two nations saw traditionally friendly, partner relations take shape, which have come a long way since then. Their onward development meets the core interests of the Russian and Indonesian people.
In 1950, the Soviet Union was among the first to recognize the young republic in Southeast Asia, contributed to the establishment of its statehood, and provided significant assistance in the construction of transport and social infrastructure facilities.
In the 1960s, the first President of Indonesia, Soekarno, visited the USSR four times, where he met with the leadership of the USSR, which in turn also visited the archipelago.
Over the past years, we have managed to amass unique experience of joint efforts in a wide range of areas. Today, our ties are making steady headway. Moscow and Jakarta have evolved an intensive political dialogue, including at the highest level. There are regular channels for collaboration between ministries, including ministries of foreign affairs, parliaments, and companies.
Our countries hold similar or coinciding approaches on issues on the global and regional agendas and closely coordinate their activities within the UN and other international platforms.
🤝 The recent accession of Indonesia to #BRICS as a full-fledged participant will contribute to the expansion of Russia-Indonesia cooperation in promoting the interests of the states of the Global South, strengthening the multilateral principles of modern interstate relations.
The accumulated positive experience of cooperation over many years remains a solid foundation for the further expansion of the entire range of bilateral relations, which meets the fundamental interests of the peoples of the two countries.
💬 President Vladimir Putin during the Russia-Indonesia talks (July 31, 2024): “Russia and Indonesia share a long-standing friendship that began decades ago. Despite the pandemic and the current developments around Russia, including associated restrictions, our trade has been growing. It has doubled over the past years. This is a very positive trend, which makes us happy.”
