Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh and his Russian counterpart Mikhail Vladimirovich Mishustin agreed to take measures to promote the development of bilateral ties, particularly in economy, trade, investment, energy - oil and gas, science-technology, education and tourism during their talks held in Hanoi on January 14.

Noting that there remains ample room for trade cooperation, the two leaders stressed the need for breakthrough solutions to raise bilateral trade, including effectively utilizing the free trade agreement between Vietnam and the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU), of which Russia is a member, and continuing to explore ways to open their markets for each other's goods such as agricultural products and pharmaceuticals.

They also discussed measures to strengthen tourism links, noting that the resumption of regular direct flights and charter flights between the two countries has contributed to an increase in tourist exchanges.

The two sides also agreed to promote cooperation in transport connectivity, including maritime, railway, and urban transport.
