STORYLINE:
Russian President Vladimir Putin arrived in Vietnam early on Thursday for a state visit.
Putin travelled to Hanoi after Pyongyang, where he and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un signed an agreement that pledges mutual aid if either country faces “aggression".
This trip will be Putin’s first state visit to the Southeast Asian country since 2017 and his fifth in total.
He is scheduled to meet Vietnam’s most powerful politician, Communist Party Secretary General Nguyen Phu Trong, the new president To Lam, and other politicians during his two-day visit.
The visit comes at a time when Moscow is facing growing international isolation because of its military actions in Ukraine.
