at the meeting of the Commission.

He noted the great contribution of leaders of Russia and Vietnam to the development of bilateral relations. “For our part, we should do everything to provide legislative support for the adopted decisions,” stressed the Chairman of the State Duma.

He recalled that in the joint statement of the presidents of Russia and Vietnam adopted in 2021, which determined the main directions of the comprehensive strategic partnership of the two countries until 2030, “there was set the task to enhance the inter-parliamentary interaction.”

The Chairman of the State Duma proposed to instruct the relevant committees of the State Duma and the National Assembly of Vietnam to establish interaction on a permanent basis. That would increase the work efficiency, as he said.

“I would like to emphasize that sanctions and challenges also give us opportunities. “We should use new formats to find solutions to the accumulated problems and give greater dynamics to the achievement of the development goals of our relations, so that trade turnover will increase, as well as there will be developed strategic areas of our cooperation, such as the oil and gas field, transport, education, peaceful nuclear energy, and agriculture,” emphasized Vyacheslav Volodin.

The Chairman of the National Assembly of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam Vương Đình Huệ stressed at the second meeting of the Commission that the parliamentarians would exchange lawmaking experience and discuss cooperation in the field of energy and transport, science and education, IT technology, economy and finance, trade and investment.

“This will be a matter that binds the two legislative bodies, improves the legal framework to enhance the comprehensive strategic partnership between Vietnam and Russia for the benefit of the people of the two countries,” he stressed.

Promising areas of cooperation

The Chairman of the Committee on Energy Pavel Zavalny Zavalny Pavel Nikolaevich Zavalny

said that the energy sector “is one of the key areas of bilateral cooperation with Vietnam”. “It is mutually beneficial,” noted the parliamentarian.

“A large area for our mutual activities includes ensuring cybersecurity and the development of artificial intelligence, platform solutions, software and personnel trainings,” said Alexander Khinshtein Khinshtein Alexander Evseyevich Khinshtein

, the Chairman of the Committee on Informational Policy, Technologies and Communications. He added that Russian IT specialists were ready to offer a number of solutions, including in matters of digitalization of the activities of government bodies, education and healthcare, and ensuring security.

, the Chairman of the Committee on Science and Higher Education, noted that cooperation between the two countries in the humanitarian area had a long history, and the tradition continues. “Every year, the Socialist Republic of Vietnam has a quota for education of 1,000 students,” said Sergey Kabyshev. In total, more than 3,000 Vietnamese students are currently studying in Russia, according to him.

The Chairman of the Committee on Science and Higher Education also welcomed Vietnam’s decision to include Russian language in the list of first foreign languages to study in secondary schools.

According to the Deputy Chairman of the Committee on Transport and Development of Transport Infrastructure Victor Deryabkin Deryabkin Victor Efimovich Deryabkin
Victor Efimovich
, the Russian side is interested in developing cooperation in the field of the sea transport and increasing the number of shipments. He also noted Russia’s interest in developing cooperation with Vietnam in the logistics area.

According to the First Deputy Chairman of the Committee on Agrarian Issues Vladimir Plotnikov Plotnikov Vladimir Nikolaevich Plotnikov
Vladimir Nikolaevich
, the cooperation between Russia and Vietnam is of a strategic nature, and that is proved by the level of cooperation in the agricultural field. The parliamentarian said that exports from Russia to Vietnam had increased by 21.1%. “Our country, in particular, is ready to increase supplies of wheat and grain processing products and cereals,” stressed Vladimir Plotnikov.

The First Deputy Chairwoman of the Committee on Economic Policy Nadezhda Shkolkina Shkolkina Nadezhda Vasilievna Shkolkina
Nadezhda Vasilievna
spoke about the cooperation between Russia and Vietnam in the trade, economic and financial fields. “Today, the most payments between our countries are made in dollars and are mainly made through the third-party correspondent banks. At the same time, it would be mutually beneficial if our countries started to make payments in national currencies, but for this, participants in foreign economic activity need access to liquidity in Vietnamese dongs,” she noted.

The parliamentarian also proposed to use more actively the platform of the Vietnam-Russia Joint Venture Bank, created to support bilateral projects.
