The Words of Welcome of the Deputy Minister of Defense of the Russian Federation, Colonel-General, A.V. Fomin to Participants and Guests of the Third International Industrial Exhibition ЕХРО-RUSSIA VIETNAM 2019
(Haoi, November 14-16, 2019)

I welcome the participants and guests of the Third International Industrial Exhibition ЕХРО-RUSSIA VIETNAM 2019!
The Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation considers Vietnam to be a strategic ally, long-time and reliable friend.
The international exhibition opening in the capital of Vietnam is included into the consolidated program of the Year of the Russian Federation in the Socialist Republic of Vietnam and the Year of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam in the Russian Federation.
We are grateful to the exhibition organizers for the opportunity to join events dedicated to the “cross year” of two countries on our site.
The organization of such an authoritative international event is complex, comprehensive and creative work that requires efforts of many departments and institutions.
Today Russian-Vietnamese relations are vigorously developing in various directions, including those in the field of military and military-technical cooperation. Thanks to the long-term successful work, we managed to lay a secure foundation for bilateral partnership.
I am convinced that this exhibition will be held in a constructive way, and its work will result in the searching for new ideas and solutions for the development of multilateral ties in industrial sectors.
I wish you effective work and all the success!

Deputy Minister of Defense of the Russian Federation, Colonel-General  A. Fomin
