The two sides discussed concrete steps to advance Vietnam’s nuclear energy sector and agreed to direct relevant agencies to finalize programs, projects, and agreements, following the principle of “harmonized interests and shared risks.”
PM Chinh asked Rosatom to continue assisting Vietnam in building and expanding nuclear research centers, training human resources, strengthening state management in nuclear energy, and partnering in critical areas such as nuclear medicine and irradiation. Likhachev confirmed that Rosatom will transfer technology, localize nuclear components, and support the development of Vietnam’s nuclear science and industry to ensure the peaceful use of nuclear energy and contribute to socio-economic development.
The group will also immediately send a working delegation to Vietnam to coordinate directly with Vietnamese counterparts and expedite implementation of the cooperation areas highlighted by the PM.
