PM Chinh emphasised that Vietnam deeply values its long-standing friendship with Russia and is committed to strengthening it. He commended AFK Sistema’s swift growth and its collaboration with leading Vietnamese groups and enterprises to enhance broad cooperation, following the direction set by Party General Secretary To Lam during his May 2025 visit to Russia.

 

Both sides agreed to expand collaboration between the Russian Presidential Academy, the HCMA, and other Vietnamese institutions to continue the tradition of effective cooperation, further consolidating and deepening the comprehensive strategic partnership between Vietnam and Russia.

 

PM Pham Minh Chinh said that Vietnam always offers all possible support for Russian energy companies, including Zarubezhneft, to operate in the country.

 

The title of Academician was conferred on Professor Chau Van Minh, President of the Vietnam Academy of Science and Technology (VAST) at a ceremony held by the Russian Academy of Sciences (RAS) on November 25.

 

State President Luong Cuong expressed his confidence that the Governor’s visit will contribute to implementing agreements reached by the high-level leaders of both nations and promote increasingly close and effective cooperation between Vietnam and Russia, as well as between Kaluga and Vietnamese localities.

 

To realise its ambitious goals, in addition to domestic capacity, Vietnam places great value on international cooperation, especially with Russia - a nation boasting a strong foundation in basic sciences and leading core technologies.
