The ambassador thanked Vietnam for supporting many initiatives of Russia at multilateral forums, and welcomed the two sides’ exchanges and dialogues at all levels, including the annual consultations between the two Foreign Ministries on cooperation within the framework of UN agencies and on issues related to human rights.

Both sides agreed to continue with discussions and dialogues to enhance mutual understanding on issues of shared concern as well as cooperation on other areas./.
