He said Vietnam-Russia ties play an important role in thecontext of Russia strengthening its “Look East” policy, the US-China trade warand changes in Russia-China relations.

He also emphasised the CPV leader Nguyen Phu Trong’s personal prestige inthe fight against corruption, which has been welcomed by many countriesglobally.

He suggested reaching for more strategic projects to fulfilthe goal of lifting two-way trade to 10 billion USD by 2020, adding that inorder to match the strategic partnership level, Russia needs to access more of Vietnam’skey projects, including those in nuclear power and metro systems.
