Vietnam intends to attract Russian companies to invest in processing and manufacturing, high technology, energy, logistics and high-tech agriculture, targeting not only the Vietnamese domestic market but also ASEAN markets, Vietnamese Finance Minister Nguyen Van Thang said at the Russia-ASEAN business dialogue during the Eastern Economic Forum (EEF).

“Vietnam is ready to serve as a bridge for Russian companies to invest in sectors such as processing and manufacturing, high technology, energy, logistics and high-tech agriculture, serving not only the Vietnamese market but also targeting ASEAN and international markets,” he said.

The minister noted that Vietnam occupies a special position in Russia-ASEAN relations. Trade with Russia totaled $4.77 bln in 2025, accounting for around a quarter of Russia's trade with ASEAN, he said.
