The Moscow-based secretariat for Dmitry Medvedev, who serves as Deputy Chairman of Russia’s Security Council, revealed during a visit to Hanoi that Moscow is prepared to resume supplying wheat to Vietnam and to expand the export of meat products. This stance was reported by TASS, the Russian news agency.
Officials indicated that, on the topic of bilateral food cooperation, Russian producers are ready to restart wheat deliveries and to broaden meat product exports. The spokesperson emphasized that reactivating these trade flows could play a vital role in supporting Vietnam’s food security and ensuring a steadier supply chain for essential staples within the country. The remarks were framed as part of broader efforts to deepen agricultural and food-sector cooperation between the two governments, with attention to quality standards, logistics, and rapid response to evolving market needs (TASS).
On the broader strategic horizon, the Kremlin has signaled accelerated planning for a grain corridor in the Russian Far East intended to boost wheat shipments to neighboring markets. The initiative is described as a mechanism to increase Russia’s grain export capacity toward China, including the northeastern region of Inner Mongolia, while simultaneously presenting a pathway to helping Russia and China navigate Western sanctions through enhanced economic collaboration. The development aligns with Moscow’s broader objective of diversifying export routes and reinforcing regional food security ties across Eurasia, as reported in state communications and industry briefings (TASS).
