Vietnam and Russia have pledged to advance cooperation between their legislative bodies, with National Assembly President Man calling for sustained implementation of existing parliamentary agreements between the two nations.
The Vietnamese leader urged both sides to maintain regular high-level exchanges and meetings involving the legislatures' leadership, standing committees, parliamentary friendship groups, and specialized delegations of younger and women parliamentarians. Enhanced sharing of legislative expertise and best practices will underpin the expanded partnership.
The renewed commitment reflects efforts by both countries to translate bilateral agreements into concrete cooperation initiatives across multiple sectors. The visit of Russia's Federation Council Chairwoman to Vietnam, including attendance at joint energy infrastructure inaugurations, underscores the breadth of Moscow-Hanoi engagement beyond traditional parliamentary channels.
Vietnamese Prime Minister has separately emphasized the importance of converting Vietnam-Russia agreements into effective joint programs, signaling government-wide commitment to deepening the strategic partnership. Parliamentary cooperation serves as a key mechanism for advancing the two nations' shared interests and strengthening institutional ties.
