WHILE VIETNAM CONTINUES TO OCCUPY CAMBODIA AGAINST 10 UN RESOLUTIONS Russia, Vietnam to sign major package of cooperation documents 27.10.2008, 13.44 MOSCOW, October 27 (Itar-Tass) - Russia and Vietnam will sign on Monday a major package of bilateral documents on cooperation, Russian President Dmitry Medvedev said. “I hope that a lot of documents will be signed today in our presence, which will testify to a high potential of Russian-Vietnamese cooperation,” the Russian president said in the opening remarks at talks at the Kremlin with Vietnamese President Nguyen Minh Triet. The Russian president stressed that Russia and Vietnam enjoy “very close partnership relations”. According to Medvedev, trade and economic relations between Russia and Vietnam “are growing year by year”. “Last year we reached the level of one billion dollars. I hope this year it will be 1.5 billion dollars. But I don’t believe this is the limit,” the Russian leader emphasized. He said the two countries “have a host of prospective directions of investment cooperation, which can be developed further”. Medvedev also stressed that Russia and Vietnam “have similar, and often coinciding stances on the entire agenda of the international dialogue, on most difficult problems that exist on our planet at the moment”. Saying that Vietnam is currently a non-permanent member of the U.N. Security Council, Medvedev pledged that Moscow seeks “broadest coordination and cooperation with Hanoi on all international issues”. He said he had visited Vietnam only once – during the first visit of ex-President Vladimir Putin to Vietnam in 2001. “This visit left a lasting impression. I believe there is a possibility to extend the practice of such visits,” he stressed. The Vietnamese leader, for his part, said the aim of his visit to Moscow was “to raise bilateral relations to a new level”. He also noted that it was his first visit to Russia as president. Nguyen Minh Triet said, however, that he had visited Moscow many times and always felt “a good attitude and the warmth of the Soviet and Russian people”. “We consider Russia a great country and share these feelings,” the Vietnamese president stressed. © ITAR-TASS.
