Russian President Vladimir Putin inks deals with Vietnam in bid to shore up ties in Asia
Hanoi, June 20
Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a series of deals with his Vietnamese counterpart To Lam on Thursday, during a state visit that comes as Moscow is seeking to bolster ties in Asia to offset growing international isolation over its military actions in Ukraine.
The two signed agreements to further cooperation on education, science and technology, oil and gas exploration and health. They also agreed to work on a roadmap for a nuclear science and technology centre in Vietnam.
Putin said the two countries share an interest in “developing a reliable security architecture” in the Asia-Pacific Region. — AP
