During the meeting, on behalf of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs' leadership, Deputy Foreign Minister Thu Hang highly appreciated the efforts of Zarubezhneft Group and Zarubezhneft Vietnam in collaborating with PetroVietnam and Vietnamese partners to implement agreements and commitments made by the high-level leaders of both countries and the signed documents in the oil and gas sector.

For 2026 and the following years, it is proposed that both sides focus on effectively implementing the documents signed during General Secretary To Lam's visit to Russia in May 2025, enhancing oil and gas exploration and extraction activities in the Russian Federation and Vietnam's continental shelf, and expanding cooperation into other areas, especially infrastructure development and renewable energy, including wind and solar power.
