The Deputy PM added that Vietnam opens its door for Russia’s energy, oil and gas development, industrial equipment, automobile manufacturing, mining, and high-tech products.

He stressed that the Vietnamese government will create favourable conditions for Russian enterprises to undertake import and export activities and seek investment opportunities in the country.
