Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Chernyshenko held a meeting with Foreign Minister of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam Bui Thanh Son to discuss the implementation and expansion of the list of the top priority Russian-Vietnamese investment projects. They focused on actions designed to build up cooperation between the two countries in trade, the economy and banking.
The meeting was attended also by Russian Foreign Ministry officials.
Dmitry Chernyshenko noted that Russian-Vietnamese ties cover a wide range of issues in politics, trade and the economy, scientific research and technology, as well as culture and education.
“Vietnam is a reliable friend and partner,” Dmitry Chernyshenko said. “Our relationship relies on a long-standing tradition of mutually beneficial cooperation and mutual respect and enjoys the status of a comprehensive strategic partnership. However, we believe that the potential for cooperation has not been fully realised. Importantly, we must continue to increase the volume of exports and imports, to step up the implementation of joint investment projects and to identify new growth points all at the same time.”
“I am grateful for the kind words about Vietnam,” Bui Thanh Son said. “Our countries are bound by a strong friendship. The Vietnamese people have always highly valued relations with Russia. We appreciate your assistance and share your strategic interests, which is why our president plans to visit Russia in November. Our prime minister has relations with Russia high on his list of priorities and is ready to visit. Deputy Prime Minister Le Van Thanh wants to meet with you as part of the intergovernmental commission’s activities.”
