At a meeting with businessmen on April 7 in Ho Chi Minh city, Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev highlighted the benefits for Vietnam in the draft FTA, saying the negotiations are close to a conclusion with almost all issues addressed.

Deputy Minister on the Development of the Far East Maxim Shereikin told reporters from the Russian Ria Novosti News Agency on April 8 that businessmen from Vietnam as well as other Southeast Asian nations are expected to be big investors in the Far East region of Russia.

He highlighted the potential in the Far East for wood processing, the light industry and gas liquefaction as huge opportunities for Vietnamese and Thai investors./.
