Putin visits Vietnam to boost relations
Print Edition
Russian President Vladimir Putin said yesterday that his country will expand its military supplies to Vietnam, as he held talks with his Vietnamese counterpart in Hanoi.
Military and energy cooperation topped the agenda during the talks between Putin and Vietnamese President Truong Tan Sang.
“We have had specific discussions on military cooperation,” Putin, who was on a one-day visit, told reporters in a joint press briefing in the Vietnam’s capital. “We plan to expand the supplies of Russian military products to Vietnam.”
Russia remains the main supplier of military hardware to Vietnam, and plans are being worked out to produce some military equipment in the Southeast Asian country with assistance from Russian companies.
Last week, Russia handed over the first of six diesel-electric Kilo Class submarines in a deal signed in 2009.
The two presidents witnessed the signing of more than a dozen agreements covering military, oil and gas, education and health care cooperation.
Sang said he and Putin had fruitful talks to bring relations between the countries forward.
Cooperation in energy has gone beyond the oil and gas sector. Russia’s state atomic energy corporation Rosatom has been awarded the rights to build Vietnam’s first nuclear power plant.
Putin traveled to South Korea later yesterday.
