The BIDV's Chairman Tran Bac Ha said the office would help spur economic, trade and investment co-operation between Vietnam and Russia. It will collect information, conduct market research, establish co-operative relations and serve as a bridge to connect BIDV and relevant agencies, partners and potential and existed clients in Russia.
The bank planned to set up a subsidiary bank in Russia at a suitable time, Ha added.
BIDV has paid special attention to the Russian market. Since 2006, it has co-operated with VTB – one of Russian biggest banks – to establish a Vietnam-Russia Joint Venture Bank (VRB). It has also set up relations with more Russian commercial banks and financial institutes.
Also, on the occasion, BIDV and VTB launched two-way payment channels which was a bottleneck for trade between the two countries over the past year.-VNA
