Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh departed from Hanoi at noon on March 22 for an official visit to Russia from March 22–25, at the invitation of Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin.
This official visit, the first high-level visit by a Vietnamese leader to Russia in 2026 is of great significance. It aims to strengthen bilateral ties while promoting international cooperation opportunities to serve Vietnam’s development in the coming period.
It reflects the determination of the Vietnamese Party, army, and people to boost economic development while fostering support and assistance from international partners, including Russia.
The main focus of the visit is to deepen bilateral relations, especially in politics, and expand economic-trade cooperation, with a strong emphasis on investment, energy, and oil and gas.
Against the backdrop of global energy security challenges arising from conflicts in the Middle East, PM Chinh’s visit is expected to elevate bilateral cooperation across all sectors, laying a foundation for strategic collaboration in key areas and creating breakthroughs in a new era of development.
The two countries are expected to sign several important agreements, including the one on enhanced cooperation in the energy sector, particularly nuclear power and oil and gas.
This visit underscores the importance both countries attach to their Comprehensive Strategic Partnership for the benefit of their people and for regional and global peace, stability, cooperation, and development.
