Mr. Medvedev during his visit to Vietnam in 2010.

According to the spokesman, this is the visit of paramount importance, which takes place when Vietnam and Russia have upgraded their bilateral relations to comprehensive strategic partnership.

The two sides are expected to discuss measures to further strengthen cooperation between the two countries in all fields and exchange views on regional and international issues of mutual concern.

This is Mr. Medvedev's second official visit to Vietnam. In 2010, he went to Vietnam on the position of the Russian President to attend the second ASEAN-Russian Summit.

The visit represents the dynamics of the exchange of high-level contacts between the two countries. In July 2012, the official visit to the Russian Federation by State President Truong Tan Sang (26-30/7) marked a new development in quality, with the two sides upgrading bilateral relations to "comprehensive strategic partnership. "

Six agreements signed and the upgrade of bilateral relations to "comprehensive strategic partnership" show a new level of relationship between Vietnam and Russia, representing the particularly high level of trust between the two countries.
