on Military Technical Cooperation.
Welcoming Drozhzhov’s visit to Vietnam, Truong said Vietnam highly values the
Comprehensive Strategic Partnership with Russia. The Russian official, for his
part, extended his congratulations on the 30th anniversary of the

founded on March 7, 1988.
The centre was established by an agreement between Vietnam’s Ministry of
National Defence and the Russian Academy of Sciences to study biology,
medicine, environmental pollution and treatment of dioxin effects in Vietnam.
It is a symbol of the good relations between the two nations, Drozhzhov said.
The two sides expressed their delight at the progress of Vietnam-Russia
relations and appreciated the role of defence and military technical
cooperation in the partnership.
