Growth of trade between Russia and Vietnam by 8%
The trade turnover between Russia Vietnam and in 2023 increased by 8%, demonstrating the positive dynamics of the development of economic relations between the countries. This was announced on June 19, 2024 by the president Russia Vladimir Putin in an article for the central body of the Communist Party of Vietnam "Niang Zan" on the eve of his visit to Hanoi.
As Vladimir Putin noted, considerable attention is paid to deepening mutual trade and stimulating investment. In 2023, bilateral trade increased by 8%, and in the first quarter of this year it grew by more than a third compared to the same period in 2023. According to the president, Russia exports food, minerals, machinery and equipment to Vietnam, while the socialist republic supplies clothing, fruits and vegetables to Russia.
An important topic of bilateral negotiations was the intensification of trade in national currencies. According to Izvestia, today the share of transactions in rubles and dong has reached 60%. In addition, Moscow and Hanoi agreed on a joint statement on expanding the strategic partnership, in which Russia is ready to establish long-term direct supplies of hydrocarbons, including LNG, to Vietnam.
According to Vietnam, in 2021-2023, trade decreased by 35% - from $5.6 billion to $3.6 billion. This led to Vietnam's loss of the status of Russia's largest trading partner in Southeast Asia, leadership passed to Singapore ($3.725 billion), the specialist explained. However, it is worth noting that at the end of last year, trade increased by 8%. However, as the Russian side notes, in 2023 there is a positive trend in the growth of trade volumes, which indicates the restoration and strengthening of economic ties between states.[1]
