HANOI, February 9. /TASS/. Russia and Vietnam maintain regular and substantive dialogue at various levels, including the highest, Russian Ambassador to Vietnam Gennady Bezdetko said in an interview with TASS.
According to him, the year 2025, which has just concluded, proved challenging in many respects, and the tense geopolitical situation in the world also affected bilateral interaction between Russia and Vietnam. "Despite the difficult conditions — primarily referring to the unprecedented scale of sanctions pressure on Russia from the countries of the collective West — our ties with Vietnam continued to strengthen across a broad range of areas. A key prerequisite for this was regular and substantive dialogue at various levels, including the highest," the diplomat emphasized.
He described as the central event of 2025 the visit to Russia in May by the General Secretary of the Communist Party of Vietnam, To Lam. "As a result of the visit, a substantial package of agreements was signed — nearly two dozen documents in various fields, including the economy, science, and personnel training — which contributed to strengthening the legal and regulatory framework and gave additional momentum to the further development of multifaceted Russian-Vietnamese cooperation," the head of the Russian diplomatic mission noted.
