After Biden & Xi, Putin lands in Vietnam. What's on the Agenda? | Vantage with Palki Sharma

Russia and Vietnam pledged Thursday to deepen ties as President Vladimir Putin made a state visit aimed at bolstering his alliances to counter Moscow's growing isolation over the war in Ukraine. The Russian leader did not receive such a clear public declaration of support in Hanoi, but Vietnamese President To Lam indicated a desire to boost defence cooperation. Vietnam and Russia have close ties going back to the 1950s but the Southeast Asian manufacturing powerhouse has for years carefully avoided allying too closely with any major power -- the so-called "bamboo diplomacy" approach of seeking strength through flexibility. Is this visit a proof of that? Palki Sharma tells you.
