President Nguyen Xuan Phuc meet with Chairman of the State Duma (lower house) of  Russia Vyacheslav Volodin.

During a meeting with Vietnam’s President Nguyen Xuan Phuc in Moscow on Wednesday, Mr. Volodin said that although deputies to the Duma represent different political parties, they have always supported strengthening cooperation with Vietnam.

He agreed with President Phuc's proposals on accelerating the exchange of legislative and supervisory experiences between the two legislatures, completing a favorable legal corridor for bilateral cooperation, maintaining close cooperation at multilateral parliamentary mechanisms, and promoting cooperation between the Friendship Parliamentary Groups of the two legislatures.

President Phuc wished that the two legislatures would further uphold the role of the Vietnam-Russia Inter-Parliamentary Cooperation Committee in strengthening bilateral comprehensive strategic partnership and inter-parliamentary cooperation in particular.

In the morning the same day, the Vietnamese President laid wreaths at Ho Chi Minh Monument and a memorial dedicated to unknown martyrs in Moscow.
