While in China, Russian President Vladimir Putin met with his Vietnamese counterpart Vo Van Thuong

🇷🇺 🇻🇳 While in China, Russian President Vladimir Putin met with his Vietnamese counterpart Vo Van Thuong. Vladimir Putin emphasized that relations between the states are developing in a friendly manner, and bilateral trade indicators have returned to growth despite the fact that last year there was a decline in economic interaction. The Vietnamese politician called Russia a priority partner in foreign policy, and also invited Vladimir Putin to come to Vietnam on an official visit. Vietnam has long played the role of an important political ally of the USSR in Southeast Asia. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, relations between Moscow and Hanoi stalled, but recently they have begun to develop again, although not as actively as during the Soviet period. Now Russia ranks 27th in terms of investments in Vietnam. And although the financial injections of the Russian side pale amid of such giants as China, the Russian Federation has every opportunity to change the situation and further spread its influence in Southeast Asia. #Russia #Vietnam together with @quantin_vic Support us Original msg Источник: Rybar in English
