HA NOI (Biz Hub)— Leading Russian businesses are visiting Viet Nam to seek ways to expand co-operation with local partners, said Chashinsky Andrey Alexandrovich, an official from the Committee for Science and High Technology of the Russian State Duma.

During their October 27-November 6 visit, the Russian businesses will continue a long-term project highlighting Viet Nam and Russia as new economies, he said, adding that they are willing to work with Vietnamese partners to apply the latest Russian technology in the Southeast Asian market.

The Viet Nam-Russia comprehensive strategic partnership has helped promote wide-ranging cooperation between the two nations, especially in economics, trade and investment, he noted.

Representatives from Russia's hi-tech companies introduced sectors they were strong in such as electrical engineering, information technology, drilling and new technological products for public health.

The guests are scheduled to work with the Vietnamese National Assembly's Committee of Science, Technology and Environment, introduce Russian companies at the Viet Nam-Russia Tropical Centre and attend a Viet Nam-Russia business conference. — VNS
