Viet Nam always values its comprehensive strategic partnership with Russia, Ambassador to Russia Nguyen Thanh Son has affirmed.

First Vietnam-Russia economic forum

Meeting with Russian presidential foreign policy aide Yuri Victorovich Ushakov in Moscow on December 25, Son said that the Vietnamese Embassy is willing to closely coordinate with Russian ministries and sectors to actively implement agreements reached by their leaders and timely remove existing obstacles.

He also asked the Office of the Russian President and Ushakov to further support the integration and development of the Vietnamese community in Russia so that they can actively contribute to bilateral ties.

The diplomat suggested more favourable conditions be given to turn the Hanoi-Moscow Centre for Culture-Trade (Incentra) into a symbol of the two countries’ friendship.

For his part, Ushakov affirmed that Russia has high confidence in its comprehensive strategic partnership with the Southeast Asian country, adding that both sides need to seriously and responsibly realise the reached agreements.

He also agreed with Son’s proposals relating to the Vietnamese community and pledged to recommend President Vladimir Putin to support them.
