"We always attach very great importance to a comprehensive strategic partnership with Russia, and Russia is at the centre of our foreign policy at all levels. <...> We want to enhance cooperation with Russia in all spheres for the benefit of the region: peace, stability and development in the region are in the interests of our countries," Tran Thanh Man stated.
In turn, Putin stressed that relations with Vietnam are one of the 'unconditional priorities' of the Kremlin’s foreign policy.
