Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh has suggested Vietnam and Russia to continue promoting cooperation in all fields, including atomic energy for peaceful purposes, particularly in ensuring energy security and serving people.

The Government leader confirmed that Vietnam has not had any policy to return to developing nuclear power, but it will continue to research and consider nuclear energy as an important solution to achieve net zero emissions by 2050, ensure energy security, and serve national development.

General Director of Rosatom Likhachev affirmed that Russia and Rosatom wish to continue promoting cooperation with Vietnam in the fields suggested by the PM, especially research on nuclear science, including atomic power, nuclear medicine, and applications in transportation, and others like wind power development.
