Top Vietnamese leaders send congratulatory messages on Russia Day

Prime Minister Le Minh Hung cabled a congratulatory message to his Russian counterpart Mikhail Mishustin, while National Assembly Chairman Tran Thanh Man extended congratulations to Chairwoman of the Federation Council of the Russian Federal Assembly Valentina Matviyenko and State Duma chairman Vyacheslav Volodin.

Vietnam and Russia marked the 75th anniversary of diplomatic ties in 2025.

The Vietnam-Russia political trust has been solidified over the past decades.

Regular high-ranking exchanges have contributed to strengthening their comprehensive strategic partnership.

Two-way trade totaled nearly US$4.77 billion in 2025, up four percent against 2024.

The energy and oil industry has traditionally been a key area of cooperation, reflecting the strength and efficiency of relations between the two nations.

In March, Vietnam and Russia signed an intergovernmental agreement to build Vietnam’s first nuclear power plant.

The agreement was an important step in bilateral cooperation on nuclear energy for peaceful purposes.

The plant is expected to become a new symbol of friendship between Vietnam and Russia.
