The visit, scheduled from March 22 to 25, follows an invitation from Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin. A senior Vietnamese delegation is accompanying him during the trip.
Focus on Strengthening Relations
Officials say the visit aims to strengthen the comprehensive strategic partnership between the two countries. According to Le Thi Thu Hang, both sides will work to expand cooperation across several sectors.
These include renewable energy, infrastructure, high technology, healthcare, biomedicine, and workforce training. The discussions are expected to deepen long-term collaboration.
Energy Agreements Expected
Meanwhile, Dang Minh Khoi confirmed that both countries plan to sign key agreements during the visit.
