MOSCOW — Vietnamese President Nguyễn Xuân Phúc met with Valentina Matvienko, Speaker of the Federation Council of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation, in Moscow on Wednesday (local time) within the framework of his official visit to Russia.

President Phúc said Việt Nam always considers Russia a priority in its foreign policy and supports Russia to have a greater role and voice in the region and the world.

Both leaders appreciated the positive development of bilateral relations, especially in the fields of politics, trade, economy, investment, defence and security, energy, education and science, despite serious impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The President welcomed the close coordination between the National Assembly (NA) of Việt Nam and the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation at international and regional forums, affirming that Việt Nam continues to support and actively participate in international initiatives initiated by the Federation Council for the common interests of the two countries, thus contributing to peace and stability in the region and the world.
