The message reads, in part:
“Russia and Vietnam are linked by traditionally friendly relations. Bilateral trade, economic, industrial, energy, scientific and cultural cooperation are rapidly developing. New opportunities are opening as the Free Trade Agreement between the Eurasian Economic Union and Vietnam comes into effect.
I am confident that active joint efforts on the governmental level will provide conditions for the implementation of large-scale Russian-Vietnamese economic and investment projects.
I wish you, Mr Nguyen Xuan Phuc, good health and success in your important work, and I wish the Vietnamese people wellbeing and prosperity.”
