The article was published in a prestigious Russian newspaper -Nezavisimaya Gazeta. Vietnam is our long-standing and reliable partner in Asia, the author wrote.

Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc with Russian Prime MinisterDmitry Medvedev during a meeting in Russia in May 2019.

Mr. Lokshin noted the high level of development of relations in the field of defense and security, the development of military-technical cooperation, in particular, the Russian defense-industrial complex began to overcome one of its main shortcomings - the lack of an after-sales service system.

Russian companies remain firmly entrenched in Vietnam’s energy sector and have managed to bypass Western sanctions. But the level of economic engagement remains far below its potential and aspirations. Vietnam is no longer Russia’s little brother in need of help and support. It is a rapidly growing country with a population of 94 million.

For many years, both sides have affirmed the coincidence or closeness of their positions on pressing issues on the global and regional agenda. Russia hopes for Vietnam's support in establishing rules of conduct in the Asia-Pacific region that all countries can accept based on the principle of indivisible collective security, the author concludes.
