Vietnam and the Soviet Union, the predecessor of the current Russia, officially established their diplomatic relations on January 30, 1950. The Vietnam – Russia political relations enjoy a high trust and have been unceasingly consolidated. The exchanges of high-level delegations are conducted on a regular basis, creating a strong driving force for the development of the comprehensive strategic partnership between the two countries.

Last year, the two-way trade reached 4.5 billion USD, marking an increase of 28.5 percent over that of 2017. By February this year, Russia ranked the 24th among the foreign countries and territories investing in Vietnam with 127 projects that totaled 950 million USD, mostly in mining, oil and gas, processing and manufacturing. Vietnam has over 20 investment projects in Russia with a combined capital of nearly 3 billion USD.

It is noteworthy that this time three years ago, Prime Minister Phuc made an official visit to Russia and attended a high-level meeting to mark the 20th anniversary of the ASEAN – Russia Dialogue Relations.

During his stay in Moscow, the leader is scheduled to have talks and meetings with Russian leaders. He and Russian leaders will preside over a ceremony to launch the Vietnam – Russia Year.

PM Phuc is also to attend the Vietnam – Russia Business Forum, receive representatives of Russia’s major firms, and meet with representatives of the Russian veterans who took part in the war in Vietnam and the Russia – Vietnam Friendship Association.
