Hanoi (VNA) –The success of projects under the Vietnam-Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) free trade agreement (FTA) will contribute to boosting the signing of similar deals between the union and other countries in Asia-Pacific, said Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Igor Morgulov.

Speaking to reporters on May 19, Morgulov stated that the successful projects with Vietnam will be a typical model so that other countries will consider and establish similar ones.
