Russia, Vietnam expand ties with oil, gas deals

摘要

Moscow-Russia’s top oil and gas companies signed a number of cooperation agreements and memoranda with Vietnam’s PetroVietnam oil and gas corporation Monday as Russia firms its interest in energy partnerships with Asia-Pacific. Of the total of eight agreements signed, five touched on oil and gas, and were sealed in the presence of the countries’ prime ministers, Russia’s Dmitry Medvedev and Vietnam’s recently appointed Nguyen Xuan Phuc, whose Moscow visit became the first foreign trip since taking office last month.
