Katyrin described Vietnam as one of the biggest markets with exceptionally rapid development. With a network of more than 180 chambers of commerce and industries across the country, Russia has been helping small-and medium-sized enterprises seek business and investment opportunities.
Russia also encourages its firms to take part in exhibitions in Vietnam to promote trade and products, he said, adding that the upcoming Russia Expo in Vietnam is expected to draw dozens of Russian businesses.
Deputy Minister of Industry and Trade Do Thang Hai said trade between Vietnam and Russia has grown significantly since the EU-Vietnam Free Trade Agreement (EVFTA) came into force in 2016.
