Chia sẻ

(VOVWORLD) -Russian newspaper Komsomolskaya Pravda (Komsomol Truth) on Wednesday published an article highlighting the potential and prospects of the Russia-Vietnam relationship in the current situation, on the occasion of the Vietnam visit by Chairman of the United Russia Party and Deputy Chairman of the Security Council of Russia Dmitry Medvedev.

The article described Vietnam as a strong emerging country with a population of 100 million, and one of the fastest-growing digital economies in the region, with an annual growth of 38%. The country is also likely to become the second-largest digital economy in Southeast Asia by 2025.

Commenting on bilateral ties, the author highlighted the long-standing relationship between Russia and Vietnam. In 2012, the two countries upgraded their relationship to a comprehensive strategic partnership.

In international relations, Vietnam follows the policy of balance between major countries based on respect for national interests, and has been quite successful in becoming a new geopolitical hotspot in the region. This is evident in the operation of the world's largest factories gradually taking place on Vietnamese territory, it said.

The article concluded that it is strategically important for Russia to maintain Vietnam’s role as a gateway to Asia, in order to enhance cooperation in trade and other key sectors between the two countries.
