PM’s Russia visit to deepen all-round cooperation
Monday, May 20,2019AsemconnectVietnam - Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc’s official visit to Russia from May 20-23 demonstrates that Vietnam treasures the traditional friendship and comprehensive strategic partnership with Russia, and wishes to strengthen the all-round cooperation, especially in economy, trade and investment.
Russia is one of the first nations to recognise and establish diplomatic relations with Vietnam on January 30, 1950, which has laid the foundation for the close friendship and comprehensive ties between the two countries.
Following efforts to develop the bilateral relations in the 1990s, the countries set up their strategic partnership in 2001, and upgraded the ties to the comprehensive strategic partnership in 2012.
Regarding cooperation policies and mechanisms, they consistently attach importance to and want to bolster bilateral collaboration based on equality and mutual benefits. They have set up and maintained annual high-level meetings as well as close coordination at international forums, especially at the United Nations as well as ASEAN-led cooperation mechanisms.
Meanwhile, cooperation through party and parliamentary channels has been promoted, contributing to the sound bilateral ties.
A wide range of dialogue and coordination mechanisms have been maintained, including annual deputy ministerial-level strategic dialogue on foreign affairs and defence-security and deputy ministerial-level dialogue on defence strategy. Furthermore, they hold annual political consultations at deputy foreign ministerial level and department level in the cooperation framework of the two foreign ministries.
Both countries share the same viewpoint on various regional and international issues, and supported each other at international forums like the UN, Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC), Asia-Europe Meeting and ASEAN Regional Forum (ARF).
Russia endorses Vietnam's position on settlement of disputes on the East Sea via peaceful measures based on international law, including the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) and the Declaration on the Conduct of Parties in the East Sea (DOC), and building the Code of Conduct in the East Sea (COC) soon.
Over the past years, Vietnam and Russia have maintained the operation of the Inter-Governmental Committee on Cooperation in Economy-Trade, and Science-Technology, which was set up in 1992 and elevated to the deputy prime ministerial level in 2011.
