Vietnam’s To Lam to visit Russia, France, US this month
The Communist-ruled country seeks to deepen ties with major partners to combat trade uncertainty hanging over its export-reliant economy.
Vietnam's leader, To Lam, is scheduled to embark on a series of overseas visits this month, aiming to strengthen ties with key partners amid trade uncertainty. The visits include stops in Russia, France, and the United States, as well as a return to Vietnam for a UN speech and a trip to Canada. Russia, a top arms supplier to Vietnam, will be the first destination, with discussions expected to focus on energy, defense, and security.
To Lam will then travel to France for the International Space Summit, where he will attend meetings and sign agreements. Following a brief return home, he will visit the United States for a speech at the United Nations General Assembly and possibly meet with US President Donald Trump. The trip concludes with a visit to Canada. None of the planned visits have been officially announced, and the schedule is subject to change.
