From a poor colony, Vietnam is now a diplomatic partner of 192 countries, a member of the United Nations, a responsible and prestigious member of the international community, participating in many multilateral organizations.

Over the years, Vietnam has consistently implemented an independent, self-reliant, diversified, multilateral foreign policy, being a friend and reliable partner, for a peaceful, stable, cooperative and developing international community.

The Vietnam-Russia relationship has a special significance, built on long-standing traditions. Recently, the relationship between the two countries has been given new impetus for development after the State visit to Vietnam by Russian President Vladimir Putin in June 2024.
