Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh held working sessions with leaders of AFK Sistema, Russia’s largest private conglomerate, and Russian Railways (RZD), in Moscow on March 25, as part of his official visit.
At a meeting with AFK Sistema, the Prime Minister called on the group to expand and diversify its investment in Vietnam. He reaffirmed that the Vietnamese Government supports stronger business cooperation in areas where Russia has strengths and Vietnam has demand, including data infrastructure, information technology, digital transformation, cybersecurity, and pharmaceuticals.
AFK Sistema Chairman Vladimir Yevtushenkov expressed interest in expanding operations in Vietnam and hoped the government would facilitate procedures for establishing a legal entity and opening an office in Hanoi. The group is also exploring pilot projects in national biometric databases, AI-powered camera systems, cybersecurity, and artificial intelligence.
During meeting with Russian Railways CEO Oleg Belozyorov, PM Chinh proposed enhanced cooperation in urban railway development and underground infrastructure in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City.
Belozyorov said the company is ready to deepen ties with Vietnam by sharing advanced technologies and supporting workforce training, while coordinating with Vietnamese partners to implement concrete projects.
