On June 20, 2024, in Vietnam, President Putin was warmly welcomed, announcing Russian investments in Vietnam's natural gas sector. The reception was more modest compared to North Korea, where Putin drove Kim Jong-un around and was treated to a grand show. Despite the warm welcome in Vietnam, the turnout was much smaller than in North Korea, where tens of thousands lined the streets. The visit's focus in Vietnam is on energy, with Russia increasing investments in natural gas extraction. The relationship with Vietnam is seen as a way for Russia to counter international isolation due to sanctions.
