On the eve of my subsequent, fifth go to to the Socialist Republic of Vietnam, I want to share with the readership of the revered and influential newspaper Nhân Dân my imaginative and prescient of the historical past, present-day state and way forward for the Russian-Vietnamese partnership.
It’s symbolic that our upcoming go to to Vietnam will happen across the date that marks the thirtieth anniversary of the Russian-Vietnamese Treaty on Foundations of Pleasant Relations. This strategic doc opened up huge alternatives to strengthen and develop the entire vary of bilateral ties, giving them a strong impetus and rising their dynamics on the new historic stage.
Hồ Chí Minh, the good son of the Vietnamese folks and an excellent buddy of our nation, stood on the origins of our bilateral cooperation. Russia honours the reminiscence of this excellent patriot, politician and statesman who at all times firmly and uncompromisingly defended the sovereignty and freedom of his Homeland. I want to notice {that a} monument to the primary President of Vietnam was erected final yr in St Petersburg to commemorate the centenary of his go to to Russia’s “northern capital.”
Our nation considerably contributed to the heroic battle of the Vietnamese folks towards overseas invaders. After the victory and full liberation of the Vietnamese territory from the occupiers, it was Soviet builders, engineers, docs, academics and scientists who helped rebuild Vietnam. They put in numerous effort to develop its financial and defence potential and tackle high social priorities.
These time-proven traditions of fellowship and mutual assist present a stable basis for furthering the bilateral relations of complete strategic partnership.
Vietnam is a vibrant and distinctive historical civilization including to the tapestry of a multipolar world. Hanoi pursues an impartial overseas coverage within the world enviornment and strongly advocates a simply world order based mostly on worldwide regulation and rules of equality of all states and non-interference of their inner affairs.
We extremely respect the truth that our nations have coinciding or comparable approaches to urgent points on the worldwide agenda. We work carefully collectively inside key worldwide boards, initially throughout the United Nations. We have now comparable assessments of the state of affairs within the Asia-Pacific area. We see Vietnam as a like-minded accomplice in shaping a brand new structure of equal and indivisible Eurasian safety on an inclusive and non-discriminatory foundation.
We’re grateful to our Vietnamese pals for his or her balanced place on the Ukraine disaster and their need to facilitate the seek for sensible methods to settle it peacefully. All of that is totally consistent with the spirit and nature of our relationships.
It is crucial that the 2 nations have constantly given critical consideration to enhancing mutual commerce and selling funding. Thus, in accordance with Russian statistics, bilateral commerce elevated by eight % in 2023, and gained greater than a 3rd within the first quarter of the present yr in comparison with the identical interval final yr. Meals, mineral assets, equipment and gear are exported to Vietnam. Many Vietnamese items, together with clothes, fruits, greens and different agricultural merchandise, are in demand on the Russian market. The 2015 Free Financial Commerce Settlement between the Eurasian Financial Union and Vietnam helps reinforce and additional develop these constructive tendencies.
The chance exists for our nations to hold out settlements in nationwide currencies – the Russian ruble and the Vietnamese dong. Such transactions accounted for greater than 40 % of bilateral commerce final yr, and within the first quarter of this yr their share rose to virtually 60 %. That is consistent with the worldwide pattern in direction of phasing out the usage of extensively discredited currencies in worldwide commerce and funding. A significant function in making certain dependable monetary settlements is performed by the Vietnam-Russia Joint Enterprise Financial institution, whose opening ceremony I attended again in 2006. We hope that the Financial institution will proceed its work, contributing actively to the strengthening of financial collaboration between our states.
The vitality sector stays a strategically necessary space of bilateral cooperation. The Vietsovpetro three way partnership, which has been exploring deposits on Vietnam’s continental shelf for greater than 4 a long time, has proved extremely environment friendly. The quantity of oil it has produced over time has exceeded 250 million tonnes. Rusvietpetro, a three way partnership firm established in 2008, is efficiently working in Russia’s Nenets Autonomous Space. It has already extracted over 35 million tonnes of oil within the harsh situations of the Far North. Gazprom, in its flip, is engaged in fuel extraction in Vietnam, whereas one other main Russian firm, NOVATEK, intends to implement LNG initiatives on the Vietnamese territory.
An initiative is being thought of to create a Centre of Nuclear Science and Know-how in Vietnam with Rosatom’s help. On this regard, I want to notice that the Russian state company is actually prepared to assist Vietnamese companions develop their nationwide nuclear energy trade, together with when it comes to constructing its human capability.
Our nation has historically contributed a terrific deal to the event of Vietnam’s hydropower potential. For instance, RusHydro is focused on becoming a member of the mission to reconstruct and enhance the capability of hydropower amenities on Vietnam’s rivers.
The Gaz Thanh Dat three way partnership to assemble Russian GAZ model vehicles is increasing its operations in Da Nang.
We count on that Vietnamese buyers will, in flip, extra actively use the ample alternatives provided by the Russian market. The Vietnamese firm TH Group, which is developing milk processing vegetation within the Moscow and Kaluga areas and within the Primorye Territory, is one instance.
And I actually can not however point out the long-standing traditions of bilateral cooperation in schooling. Over the previous a long time, tens of hundreds of Vietnamese specialists in varied fields have acquired coaching or upgraded their expertise in our nation, and a number of other thousand have obtained educational levels. We intend to additional prioritize partnership on this space. This contains additional providing schooling alternatives at Russian universities to Vietnamese residents on the expense of the federal funds. We’ll do our greatest to advertise pupil exchanges, launch joint educational initiatives and programmes. The Russian-Vietnamese Tropical Analysis and Know-how Centre, which has been engaged in utilized and basic analysis for a few years, gives a vivid instance of such constructive cooperation between our nations.
We will certainly proceed to develop humanitarian contacts. I do know that many Vietnamese perceive and love Russian music, literature and cinema. And Russian folks present real curiosity in authentic Vietnamese artwork. The Days of Vietnamese Tradition in Russia, to be held early subsequent month, will present a greater glimpse.
Tourism is a certain option to promote mutual understanding between our peoples. Vietnam has lengthy develop into a preferred vacation vacation spot for Russians, and Vietnamese residents have at all times been attracted by our nation’s vacationer sights. A rise within the variety of direct flights would assist intensify mutual vacationer flows.
Along with our Vietnamese pals, we are going to proceed to develop bilateral ties and cooperation for the advantage of our peoples, for stability and prosperity within the area and the world as a complete. I’m assured that our nations, counting on the perfect traditions of friendship, mutual belief and mutual help, will obtain all our bold objectives.
I want the folks of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam peace, well-being and prosperity.
