Russia-Vietnam relations see constant development
QĐND
Russia-Vietnam
relations have endured through ups and downs, creating a firm
foundation for promoting comprehensive cooperation in various areas of
mutual concern.
Russian
Consul General to HCM City Anatoly V.Borovik affirmed the above at a
February 19 press conference marking the 63rd anniversary of
Russian-Vietnamese diplomatic ties (1950-2013).
Bilateral
ties between the two countries were pushed to new heights through
2012’s senior-level leader and business visit exchanges to seek
opportunities for cooperation and investment in their respective
countries.
During
the reviewed period, two-way trade turnover hit US$3.5 billion, a 40
percent increase on a year earlier. Both nations are striving to bring
the figure to US$7 billion in 2013.
Borovik noted Russia is helping Vietnam build a nuclear power plant in the south-central province of Ninh Thuan.
Russia
will assist Vietnam apply the most up-to-date advanced technology to
ensure the important national and regional project’s safety, he added.
Apart
from energy, Russia is also carrying out a number of mineral
exploitation projects in southern Vietnam such as the Titan project,
also in Binh Thuan.
The number of Russian visitors to Vietnam has surged in recent years with more than 200,000 recorded in 2012.
The
two countries boast great potential for developing their relationship
further and 2012’s achievements will give their efforts to do so fresh
impetus.
