The Vietnamese leader also affirmed the importance the CPV attaches to promoting its relations with political parties in Russia.

Putin and other senior leaders of Russia to the Vietnamese Party chief, and emphasised that the State Duma of the Federal Assembly of Russia always backs the enhancement of the Vietnam-Russia comprehensive strategic partnership.
Russia always considers Vietnam a priority, important partner in its foreign policy in Asia-Pacific, he continued.
