“Vietnam never forgets”, “Vietnam cherishes” were emphasized by General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong every time he mentioned the great assistance of the Russian Federation to the country. For his part, in high-level meetings, President Vladimir Putin always emphasized that Vietnam is always a friend and a reliable partner of the Russian Federation. Gratitude, trust and sincerity are the foundations for the everlasting Vietnam-Russia friendship and the Comprehensive Strategic Partnership to overcome all difficulties and blossom and bear sweet fruit. “Thesis came to Uncle Ho. And he cried Uncle Ho's tears fell on the words Lenin Four walls silently listened to Uncle turning each page of the folded book Thinking outside, the country waited for news”. (The person in search of the image of the country, Che Lan Vien) The truth that leader Nguyen Ai Quoc discovered in the land of VI Lenin was the light that illuminated the path of the Vietnamese revolution. Developing relations with the Soviet Union has always been the top priority in the foreign policy of the Democratic Republic of Vietnam since its early days. During the struggle for national independence and nation building, Vietnam received the sympathy, support and sincere help of the Soviet Union. Later, regardless of the changes in the "post-Soviet" space, Vietnam consistently believed that maintaining relations with Russia and other countries that were once members of the Soviet Union was necessary and met the multifaceted interests of Vietnam. Unforgettable milestones The event considered the first milestone in the development of bilateral relations was President Putin's official visit to Vietnam (March 2001) with the Joint Declaration on the Vietnam-Russian Federation Strategic Partnership. Russia was the first country with which Vietnam signed a declaration establishing a Strategic Partnership. More than a decade later, the Vietnam-Russian Federation relationship developed more comprehensively and deeply, which was the foundation for the two countries to decide to elevate their relationship by establishing a Comprehensive Strategic Partnership framework in July 2012 during President Truong Tan Sang's visit to Russia. This cooperation framework has created new momentum for the Vietnam-Russia relationship to develop in all areas to date. Next, the Vision of Comprehensive Strategic Partnership until 2030 announced by the two countries on November 30, 2021 is of great significance, creating new momentum for stronger cooperation. In recent years, from politics , defense, security, trade and investment, energy to science and technology, education and health, all areas of cooperation are facing very good prospects. The two sides have close views on many international and regional issues. Most recently, meeting the Vietnamese leaders on the sidelines of the Belt and Road Forum (BRF) in October 2023, President Putin once again affirmed that Vietnam is one of the most important partners of the Russian Federation in the Asia-Pacific region. Last March, in a phone call with President Putin, General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong emphasized that Vietnam identifies the Comprehensive Strategic Partnership with the Russian Federation as one of the top priorities in its foreign policy. Familiar symbols and determination to accompany For many years, the energy and oil and gas sectors have been considered symbols of Vietnam-Russia economic cooperation with names that have become familiar to the Vietnamese people such as the Hoa Binh Hydropower Plant (a project built by the Soviet Union to help Vietnam, bringing high economic efficiency, ensuring energy security for Vietnam in the development process). In addition, there are Vietnam-Russia joint ventures in the oil and gas sector such as Vietsovpetro, Rusvietpetro, Gazpromviet, Vietgazprom... It can be affirmed that the space for cooperation between the two countries in these fields is very promising. Vietnam is in the stage of industrialization and modernization of the country, the demand for investment, construction and development of infrastructure, energy and electricity is very large. Recently, in a meeting on the sidelines of the 27th Saint Petersburg International Economic Forum in Russia, representatives of the two countries continued to emphasize the "pillar" role of oil and gas - energy cooperation with directions for green energy transition and sustainable development. Despite the common difficulties of the world economic situation, trade - investment cooperation between the two countries has continued to be strengthened in recent times. The 24th meeting of the Vietnam - Russia Intergovernmental Committee on economic - trade and scientific - technological cooperation took place in April in Hanoi with many orientations and solutions to remove difficulties and seize opportunities in bilateral economic cooperation. With the determination and efforts of the two countries, trade turnover in 2023 will reach 3.63 billion USD, an increase of 2.3% compared to 2022, towards recovery as before Covid-19. In particular, in line with the current general development trend of the world, green transformation, renewable energy, and digital economy are areas that both countries are very interested in and have great demand for. Vietnam and the Russian Federation both focus on developing the digital economy, aiming to make the digital economy one of the main growth drivers, opening up great cooperation opportunities for the two countries in general and businesses in particular. Recently, at the workshop "Prospects of Vietnam-Russia digital economic cooperation" held in Moscow, Vietnamese Trade Counselor in the Russian Federation Duong Hoang Minh shared: "In recent years, the digital economy in Vietnam and the Russian Federation has developed very strongly. The potential for cooperation between the two countries is also huge. Right at the Russian Embassy in Vietnam, there is a new title, which is digital attaché. The two countries have a legal foundation, creating favorable conditions for the development of the digital economy in the coming time". Obviously, in every development bridge, the two countries always work together to resolve difficulties and challenges, take advantage of every opportunity and make efforts, determined to move economic cooperation forward.| In a phone call with Russian President Vladimir Putin on March 26, General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong emphasized that Vietnam considers the comprehensive strategic partnership with the Russian Federation one of the top priorities in its foreign policy.
