STORYLINE:
Russian President Vladimir Putin held talks with Vietnamese Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh during a visit in Hanoi on Thursday.
Earlier Putin signed a series of deals with his Vietnamese counterpart To Lam during a state visit that comes as Moscow is seeking to bolster ties in Asia to offset growing international isolation over its military actions in Ukraine.
The two signed agreements to further cooperation on education, science and technology, energy, climate change and health.
Putin had arrived at Vietnam’s Presidential Palace on Thursday afternoon, where he was greeted by school children waving Russian and Vietnamese flags.
There he shook hands with and embraced Vietnam’s new President To Lam before a bilateral meeting and a joint briefing to the media.
Putin had arrived in Hanoi early Thursday morning from North Korea, where he and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un signed an agreement that pledges mutual aid in the event of war.
The Russian leader is also scheduled to meet Communist Party General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong — Vietnam’s most powerful politician.
