Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov met with Vietnamese Foreign Minister Bui Thanh Son in Hanoi on Wednesday, as both nations looked to deepen their strategic partnership and navigate rising global tensions through renewed diplomatic and economic cooperation.
The two officials emphasized their commitment to strengthening cooperation in trade, energy, defense, and education. Lavrov praised Vietnam’s independent foreign policy, while Bui Thanh Son highlighted the value of constructive dialogue and mutual respect in international relations.
Key topics included energy collaboration, regional security, and global issues such as the war in Ukraine and tensions in the South China Sea. Both sides underscored the importance of international law and peaceful dispute resolution.
Lavrov’s visit is part of Russia’s broader push to reinforce ties in Asia as Western isolation intensifies. Vietnam, maintaining its non-aligned stance, continues to engage with all major powers in pursuit of national development and strategic autonomy.
