Russian President Vladimir Putin's recent visit to Vietnam marks a significant effort to bolster relationships in Asia, amidst increasing isolation from the West. During his stay, Putin signed multiple agreements with Vietnam, focusing on cooperation in energy, science, health, and education sectors. This move is seen as part of Russia's strategy to shore up alliances in the Indo-Pacific region. The visit, which included meetings with Vietnam's top political leaders, underscores the importance of Vietnam in Russia's foreign policy agenda. Concurrently, the U.S. is also intensifying its diplomatic engagement in the region, with U.S. envoy Daniel Kritenbrink's upcoming visit to Vietnam, highlighting the geopolitical significance of the country.
