First Deputy Prime Minister Igor Shuvalov has announced that Russia and Vietnam
are likely to sign an agreement on the establishment of a free trade area (FTA)
next year.
Deputy PM Shuvalov, who has just paid an
official visit to Vietnam, made the statement on the Russia 24 TV channel on
November 23.
He said Russian and Vietnamese officials have
begun to compile the FTA paperwork to be presented to the two governments by
the end of this year.
The Deputy PM affirmed that Russia and Vietnam
are likely to sign the FTA in mid-2012 when Russia assumes the chair of the
Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation Forum (APEC).
Three countries of the customs alliance –
Russia, Belarus and Kazakhstan, and ASEAN members may implement a FTA in the
middle of next year, he said.
