They consented to effectively realise the free trade agreement between Vietnam and the Eurasian Economic Union to elevate trade between the two countries to US$10 billion.
They also shared the views on the profound changes of the regional and international situation, and the need to intensify information exchange and closer coordination at multilateral forums, especially at the time when Vietnam serves as a non-permanent member of the UN Security Council for 2020-2021 and the ASEAN Chair in 2020.
Vietnam affirmed its recognition of importance to Russia’s role and voice in global issues and security, while Russia applauded Vietnam’s rising position in the region and the world as a whole, as well as the Southeast Asian country’s active role in ASEAN, the UN Security Council (UNSC) and multilateral forums.
They pledged to join hands at the UN and other multilateral forums, and work together to contribute to maintaining peace and stability in Asia-Pacific and the world.
The diplomats also highlighted the progress of the ASEAN-Russia relationship over the past time, stating that Vietnam and Russia will go ahead with their closer coordination to propel the ASEAN-Russia strategic partnership.
