Vietnam explores opportunities in Russia

A Vietnamese business delegation led by Ambassador Bui Dinh Dinh visited the Russian province of Kursk from June 19-21 to seek business opportunities.

During a meeting with the province’s leaders, Ambassador Dinh proposed the local authorities create favourable conditions for the Vietnamese community to do business and enjoy a stable life in the province.

On the occasion, he invited the provincial leaders and businesses to visit and study opportunities in Vietnam.

The host appreciated the visit by the Vietnamese delegation, considering it a good start for direct cooperation between Vietnamese and Russian localities and businesses. They said Vietnam should increase rice, rubber and seafood exports to Russia in general and to Kursk province in particular.

They added that Kursk province exported US$23 million worth of products to Vietnam in 2008 but Vietnamese goods have not reached the province’s potential market.
