And I would like to note that it was from that time, from the time of Vietnam’s struggle for its sovereignty, that special relations of friendship, mutual understanding and cooperation were formed between our peoples. In this regard, I would like to note that during the years of independence and full sovereignty, Vietnam has achieved impressive results under the leadership of your party, under the leadership of the leading leadership teams of Vietnam. And in this regard, I would like to say that this means that the people who fought for Vietnam fought for its independence, for its sovereignty. They did not do it in vain, and the sacrifices were not in vain. The Vietnamese people are achieving, I would like to emphasize again, impressive results on the basis of sovereignty they have achieved. We are developing our bilateral relations, our trade turnover is growing. Last year it gained almost 6%. This year, in the first six months, the growth rate of trade turnover actually doubled.

Comrade Vladimir Putin, I am very glad to meet you again. our great friend, a close brother of the Vietnamese people, a comrade with whom I have a special personal relationship. First of all, I would like to sincerely thank you and the people of Russia for your continued attention, support and assistance in developing bilateral cooperation between Vietnam and Russia. I would like to thank the high-ranking delegation from Vietnam for the warm, cordial and hospitable welcome they gave me and my wife. I also express my gratitude to Comrade President for the sincere, warm congratulations and friendly feelings addressed to me on the occasion of the eighth anniversary of the Independence Day of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam. During today's meeting in a narrow format, I would like to discuss with you a number of issues that we consider strategic and urgent in our bilateral cooperation today. Vednam consistently attaches great importance to the development of relations with Russia and considers them a priority, which is a consistent course and the main strategic choice in Vietnam's entire foreign policy. Recently, some countries have expressed their reaction to Vietnam's maintenance of good relations with Russia. However, Venam did not hesitate, did not change his position and clearly demonstrated his approach, since he clearly understands the essence of this issue. Vietnam highly values ​​and deeply cherishes Russia's influence and status, as well as the personal role and authority of President Putin in shaping a new multipolar order and ensuring global energy and food security. I am convinced that under the sensitive, decisive and wise leadership of Comrade President, Russia will safely and successfully conduct the elections to the State Duma of the ninth convocation and the upcoming elections to local government bodies, which will give new impetus to the development, stability and prosperity of Russia. This will be a key factor that will create conditions and open up many new opportunities for cooperation between Russia and friendly countries in the near future, including Vietnam. I wanted to hear your opinion. Thank you very much.
