M. Mishustin: Good afternoon, dear comrade To Lam!
Welcome to the Government House of the Russian Federation.
I remember mine with great warmth visit to Hanoi in January of this year. And I would like to ask you to take this opportunity to convey my greetings and best wishes to the President of Vietnam, esteemed comrade Luong Cuong, and also to my colleague, Prime Minister comrade Pham Minh Tinh.
We are sincerely glad for your personal participation in the celebrations on the occasion of the 80th anniversary of the Victory in the Great Patriotic War. This is a significant date for the peoples of Russia and Vietnam, who carefully preserve the historical memory of the feat of the generation of victors.
One of the important results of World War II was the proclamation of Vietnamese independence in September 1945.
On the eve of your visit, April 30, 50 years passed since the liberation of South Vietnam and the reunification of the country. I cordially congratulate you and all Vietnamese comrades and citizens on this anniversary. We are rightfully proud of our country’s contribution to the victory of the heroic Vietnamese people in the struggle for freedom and independence.
Along with participation in the ceremonial events in Moscow, you will also hold talks with the President of Russia Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin. I would like to assure you that the Government of Russia will ensure prompt implementation of the decisions that will be taken at the highest level.
Vietnam is an important partner of Russia in the Asia-Pacific region. This year we celebrate the 75th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations. And we are interested in further strengthening the Russian-Vietnamese comprehensive strategic partnership.
We are paying priority attention to increasing trade and economic cooperation and increasing mutual trade turnover. New joint projects in the fields of energy, transport, industry, agriculture, high technology and digital are also being developed. The Russian-Vietnamese intergovernmental commission, headed by my deputy Dmitry Chernyshenko from the Russian side, is actively working.
We attach particular importance to the development of direct interaction between the regions of Russia and Vietnam. We will continue to create favorable conditions for the launch of new joint ventures, primarily with the participation of small and medium businesses.
We also value humanitarian ties with Vietnam. Our countries have a rich national heritage. Russian classical literature is well known in Vietnam. Russia helped its Vietnamese friends create national ballet and opera.
More and more Russian tourists visit Vietnam, get acquainted with its unique culture and art. And my stay in hospitable Hanoi, Vietnam left the warmest memories.
I am ready to discuss with you the most pressing issues of interaction between Russia and Vietnam. Please, you have the floor, esteemed comrade To Lam.
