Party leader receives Russian Duma Chairman
(VOV) - Chairman of the State Duma of the Federal Assembly of Russia Naryshkin Sergey Evgenievich’s visit to Vietnam will mark a new development in relations between the two legislative bodies, said Party General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong.
At a meeting with Evgenievich in Hanoi on December 3, Trong recalled his recent visit to Russia at the invitation of President V. Putin, affirming that the successful visit will help deepen the comprehensive strategic partnership between the two countries.
He hoped that bilateral relations between the Vietnam National Assembly (NA) and the State Duma will further be consolidated and flourished. The two sides will successfully implement inter-parliamentary cooperation agreements signed in 2013. They will strictly monitor and speed up the implementation of strategic projects and high-level agreements on energy, oil and gas, nuclear power, education and training, science and technology, defence, and security for Russian and Vietnamese citizens living and working in each other’s territory.

In the coming time, the two legislatures will continue boosting cooperation, especially in closely monitoring the reached agreements and exchanging legislative information and experience, Evgenievich stated.
