The Russian President, Vladimir Putin, is currently planning a trip to Vietnam, with dates expected to be confirmed by the Kremlin shortly. The trip will likely occur in mid-late summer.
Russia has a Free Trade Agreement with Vietnam via the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU). Current bilateral trade is running at about US$3 billion.
Bilateral trade between Russia and Vietnam reached a record high of US$7.1 billion in 2021, an increase of 25.91% (US$1.46 billion) compared to 2020. However, due to sanctions imposed on Russia as a result of the Ukraine conflict, the bilateral trade volume has halved. Both sides will be looking to get mutual trade and investment ties back on track.
