Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Wednesday that trade turnover between Russia and Vietnam grew by almost 6% last year and had effectively doubled in the first half of 2026. Speaking during a meeting with a senior Vietnamese delegation in Moscow, Putin said the two countries were expanding cooperation across trade, culture, education and security, while describing their relationship as one based on long-standing friendship and mutual understanding. Vietnam's leader said maintaining strong relations with Russia remained a strategic choice for Hanoi despite reactions from other countries. Putin said agreements expected to be signed during the visit could provide a basis for further developing what he called the two countries' special strategic relations. #russia #vietnam #putin #russiavietnam #russiavietnamrelations #russiatrade #vietnamtrade #russiaasia #asia #geopolitics #worldnews #breakingnews #putinnews #moscow #hanoi #internationalrelations #strategicpartnership #globalpoli
