Mikhail Mishustin held talks with Prime Minister of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam Pham Minh Tinh. Mishustin: Good afternoon, dear friends! I warmly welcome you, Mr. Pham Minh Tinh. Welcome to the Government House of the Russian Federation.
First of all, I would like to ask you to convey our warmest greetings and best wishes to the General Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Vietnam, Comrade To Lam, and the President of Vietnam, Comrade Luong Cuong.
I fondly remember meeting them during my visit to Hanoi last January.
I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate you and all our Vietnamese friends on the successful holding of the 14th Congress of the Communist Party of Vietnam, as well as the recent elections to the National Assembly of Vietnam. The Supreme Party Forum approved strategic objectives to accelerate Vietnam's socioeconomic development. I am confident that these goals will be achieved.
We sincerely value friendly Russian-Vietnamese relations, based on the principles of a comprehensive strategic partnership, mutual respect, and consideration of each other's interests.
Through our governments, we ensure the effective implementation of agreements reached at the highest level. We are already implementing the Comprehensive Plan for Cooperation between Russia and Vietnam until 2030. As a reminder, it was approved in Hanoi last January.
We place particular emphasis on expanding trade and economic cooperation. We propose continuing our joint efforts to increase mutual trade turnover and diversify its structure.
We also see our common goal in creating favorable conditions for the growth of mutual investment and the launch of new projects in industry, energy, transport infrastructure, agriculture, and many other areas.
Following today's negotiations, an intergovernmental agreement was signed on the construction of the first nuclear power plant in Vietnam.
The creation of a nuclear power plant will provide a powerful impetus to the development of cooperation in related fields – high technology, fundamental and applied scientific research.
I am confident that this project will become a new symbol of Russian-Vietnamese friendship.
In the oil and gas sector, following intergovernmental agreements, Zarubezhneft and PetroVietnam have signed agreements that will enable the practical implementation of projects to develop oil fields in Russia and Vietnam.
We place particular emphasis on strengthening humanitarian ties. Russian Culture Days are currently taking place in Vietnam. We are delighted that many generations of Vietnamese know and love Russian culture and art.
Vietnamese resorts are popular with Russian tourists. We continue to create favorable conditions for further increasing mutual tourist flows.
Dear Comrade Pham Minh Tinh, I look forward to discussing with you the most pressing issues on the Russian-Vietnamese agenda. It is my pleasure to hand the floor over to you.
