Russian President Vladimir Putin arrived in Hanoi, Vietnam, following his visit to North Korea, meeting with Vietnam's 'Four Pillars,' including newly appointed President Su Lin to sign agreements focusing on energy, trade, and tourism. Despite being Vietnam's largest arms supplier, Russian relations are being scrutinized as Vietnam has been improving relations with Europe, the U.S., and China. The visit, seen as a move to solidify alliances in Asia, highlights the delicate balancing act Vietnam is playing in maintaining neutrality while enhancing regional security cooperation and response to non-traditional security threats.
