Afterwards, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh and Prime Minister Mikhail Vladimirovich Mishustin led the high-ranking delegations of the two countries to hold talks.

With the foundation of good feelings between the leaders and people of the two countries, Vietnam-Russia political relations have a high level of trust, with frequent exchanges of high-level delegations and contacts at all levels. The two countries maintain the mechanism of the Intergovernmental Committee meeting annually. The two sides closely coordinate at multilateral forums and international organizations.
Cooperating in many diverse fields, the Vietnam-Russia relationship is increasingly in-depth and substantive.
