Addressing the workshop, Vietnamese Chargé d'Affaires to Russia Nguyen Quynh Mai stressed the urgency of food security in the current period, adding that as a partner of the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU), Vietnam has attached importance to ensuring food security and improving people’s living standards.
Speaking from Hanoi, President of the Vietnam Union of Friendship Organisations Nguyen Phuong Nga said against the backdrop of COVID-19, Vietnam attaches importance to cooperation with the EAEU in ensuring food security to reduce and prevent hunger around the world.

The signing of the EAEU-Vietnam Free Trade Agreement in 2015 has created a new momentum for development across all fields between Vietnam and the EAEU, she noted.
