Vietnam’s top leader is expected to undertake a series of high-profile international visits this month, with planned trips to Russia and France, while a visit to the United States is also being considered, according to sources cited by Reuters.

The diplomatic tour comes as Vietnam seeks to strengthen relations with major global powers and expand cooperation on trade, investment, security and other strategic issues.

The planned engagements are expected to highlight Hanoi’s growing emphasis on maintaining balanced relationships with key partners amid shifting geopolitical dynamics.

The visits to Russia and France could further deepen Vietnam’s ties with both countries, while a potential trip to the United States would underscore the importance of the rapidly expanding Vietnam-U.S. relationship.

The developments reflect Vietnam’s increasingly active foreign policy and its efforts to engage with major powers on multiple fronts.
