Vietnam and Russia Deepen Nuclear Energy Ties to Power Future Growth

During the ASEAN-Russia summit in Kazan, Vietnamese Prime Minister Le Minh Hung met with Rosatom CEO A. Likhachev to reaffirm a strategic partnership in nuclear energy spanning over four decades. Building on long-standing cooperation—including the successful operation of the Dalat nuclear reactor—the two nations are set to elevate their collaboration.

Key focus areas include the potential revival of the Ninh Thuan I nuclear power project, the development of a Nuclear Science and Technology Center in Dong Nai, and continued human resource training. The Prime Minister emphasized that Vietnam views nuclear energy for peaceful purposes as a strategic pillar, with Russia serving as a primary partner. Both sides are committed to optimizing investment costs and localizing equipment as they transition toward long-term nuclear energy integration for national development. #XAUTUSDT #BRUSDT
