HANOI — Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a series of deals with his Vietnamese counterpart To Lam on Thursday, during a state visit that comes as Moscow is seeking to bolster relations in Asia to offset growing international isolation over its invasion of Ukraine.
The two signed agreements to further cooperate on education, science and technology, oil and gas exploration, and health. They also agreed to work on a roadmap for a nuclear science and technology center in the Southeast Asian country.Following the talks, Putin said the two countries shared an interest in 'developing a reliable security architecture' in the Asia-Pacific region based on not using force and peacefully settling disputes with no room for 'closed military-political blocs.
The Kremlin rejected it as 'null and void,' stressing that Moscow doesn't recognize the court's jurisdiction.Putin's recent visits to China and now North Korea and Vietnam are attempts to 'break the international isolation,' said Nguyen Khac Giang, an analyst at Singapore's Iseas-Yusof Ishak Institute.
