ASEAN Ambassadors to Russia
|
The event was chaired by Vietnamese Ambassador to Russia Nguyen Thanh Son at Hanoi-Moscow Centre for Culture, Trade and Hotels (Incentra).
At the meeting, Ambassador Son suggested that ASEAN member nations jointly organise an ASEAN high-quality product fair this year to mark the 20th anniversary of partnership between the bloc and Russia. The ASEAN Ambassadors warmly responded to the initiative and contributed ideas on how to realise it.
On the occasion, the Vietnamese ambassador introduced to participants several Vietnam’s investment projects in Russia, including a 120-hectare light industrial zone and the TH True Milk project worth 2.5 billion USD on dairy cow breeding and processing of dairy products.
Representatives from the Incentra’s executive board also gave their guests an overview of the complex, which is considered a symbol of good relationship between Vietnam and Russia.
For his part, Ambassador Son hailed the centre’s contributions to Russia ’s economic development, as well as to Vietnamese traders. He invited representatives from the MTC Management Board to visit Vietnam and study the local market in order to enhance cooperation between the two sides.
While visiting Vietnamese traders at the centre, the diplomat expressed his hope that the Russian economy will rebound in the second half of 2016. Many traders said their business is facing a range of challenges but they hoped that the situation will be better in the coming time.
