The Vietnamese delegation was led by Deputy Minister of Planning and Investment Do Thanh Trung.

Themed “The Path to Partnership, Peace and Prosperity” this year’s forum reflects Russia’s desire to build constructive relations and engage in inclusive dialogue with foreign partners in the Asia-Pacific region.

In a congratulatory letter to the forum, Russian President Vladimir Putin affirmed that the forum with high international reputation creates important opportunities for politicians, business leaders, public figures and experts from all over the world to engage in direct dialogues.
