The same day, Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc visited Gazprom, one of Russia’s largest oil and gas companies. The Prime Minister emphasised that energy co-operation was one of the major pillars of the comprehensive strategic partnership between the two countries.

The government was also keen to always provide the best possible conditions for Russian businesses, including Gazprom, to operate in the country, he said, noting his hope that the group will increase their investment in oil and gas exploration and exploitation and crude oil supply while expanding their presence in new spheres such as petrochemistry and producing new fuels.

On May 18, the visiting Prime Minister, Nguyen Xuan Phuc, attended the opening of a Vietnamese-invested dairy farm in Volokolamsk, Russia. The government leader highlighted the significance of the free trade agreement between Vietnam and the Eurasian Economic Union which opens the service and investment markets of both countries.
