Around 100 Vietnamese labourers working at the "Hanoi" garment factory - the largest group of Vietnamese working near conflict zones in Russia's Kursk oblast, have been still working hard to ensure timely delivery of products to customers, despite the ongoing conflict in border areas between Russia and Ukraine.

The Vietnamese Embassy in Russia is ready to evacuate people from areas bordering Ukraine in Russia’s Kursk oblast to safe places if needed, said Counselor Vu Xuan Viet, head of the Consular Division and deputy head of the Community Affairs Board of the embassy on August 11.

VOV.VN - The country has made it a priority to boost economic, trade, and investment co-operation with several Russian localities, with bilateral trade expanding by 8% to approximately US$5 billion despite the impact of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, Vietnamese Ambassador to Russia Ngo Duc Manh has stated.
