STORYLINE:
Russian President Vladimir Putin was seeking to strengthen ties with longtime partner Vietnam on a state visit Thursday that comes as Moscow faces growing international isolation because of its military actions in Ukraine.

Putin was due to hold talks with Vietnam's new President To Lam after being given an official welcome ceremony at Hanoi's Presidential Palace.

He arrived from North Korea, where he and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un signed an agreement that pledges mutual aid in the event of war.

The Russian leader is also scheduled to meet Communist Party General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong — Vietnam’s most powerful politician — and other officials later.
