Nguyen Phu Trong, the top figure in Vietnam’s power hierarchy and the Secretary of the Communist Party, has formally invited Vladimir Putin, the Russian President who recently secured his fifth consecutive term.

According to local media VN Express on the 27th, the Central Foreign Affairs Committee of the party revealed that during a call with Putin the day before, Trong requested him to visit Vietnam “to enhance bilateral relations and strengthen cooperation.”

The committee further explained that Putin immediately accepted the invitation and plans to arrange the visit soon.

Additionally, Trong expressed condolences to the victims of the recent mass shooting that occurred at the Crocus City Hall concert venue on the outskirts of Moscow on the 22nd and comforted Putin.

He emphasized that the relationship with Russia is a top priority in Vietnam’s foreign policy. In response, Putin stated that the relationship between the two countries has developed positively and that Vietnam has always been a reliable friend of Russia.

Moreover, the leaders of both countries agreed to strengthen cooperation in the fields of security, defense, economy, trade, culture, and tourism.

The two countries established diplomatic relations in 1950 and upgraded their relationship to “comprehensive strategic partners” in 2012.

Vietnam’s power structure centers around the Communist Party Secretary who is the highest in the power hierarchy, with the President of Foreign Affairs and Defense, the Prime Minister of Administration, and the Speaker of the Legislative National Assembly sharing power.

Vietnam, which advocates “non-alignment,” has established comprehensive strategic partner relationships with six countries: South Korea, India, Russia, China, the United States, and Japan.
