Russian hi-tech firms keen on Vietnamese market
(VOV) - A Russian delegation comprising representatives of 10 hi-tech businesses are paying a six-day visit to Vietnam to seek cooperative opportunities.
During the visit from October 20-25, which is under framework of the "Russia-Vietnam: New Economies” project, the delegation will get involved in a wide range of activities in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City.
At a press briefing in Hanoi on October 20, project director Strozhaeva Lubov Viktorovna said the project launched in April 2012 is aimed at strengthening trade and investment relations between Russia and Vietnam and helping their businesses transfer and apply new technologies to production.
Russian businesses are keen on enhancing cooperation with Vietnamese partners not only in traditional fields of economics, defence, science and technology and education but also in new technologies, Viktorovna said.
