According to Khuong, the two sides are beefing up efforts to conclude negotiation of a free trade agreement between Vietnam and the Customs Union of Belarus, Kazakhstan, and Russia. The agreement once signed will create breakthrough to realize the targets of bilateral trade revenues in 2015 and 2020, said Khuong.

Speaking at the forum, Russian Ambassador to Vietnam Andrey G. Kovtun said: »In the past few years, Vietnam has been among countries in Asia-Pacific that Russia sets priorities in political and economic fields.«

The forum drew participation of 25 Russian enterprises who are seeking business opportunities with Vietnamese companies in the areas of information and technology, communication and telecommunication equipment, biotechnology, nano technology, healthcare and pharmaceutics, environment, energy, automation, automobile industry, metallurgical, oil and gas among others, reported VOV.
