According to Reuters, within the framework of the visit, Mr. Tap Can Binh will attend the 80th Anniversary of the Victory in the Great Patriotic War, one of Russia's most important holidays, on May 9, 2025.
General Secretary and President of China Xi Jinping is expected to hold talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin to promote the comprehensive strategic partnership between the two countries. It is expected that the two sides will sign a number of cooperation documents and discuss international and regional issues of concern.
This year's Victory Day celebration has a special meaning, marking the 80th anniversary of the Soviet Red Army's defeat of Germany during World War II.
With the loss of about 27 million people, the Soviet Union played a decisive role in pushing back the socialists, towards Berlin, where Putin committed suicide and the Soviet Victory Flag was planted on the Reichstag building in 1945.
In addition to Mr. Tap Can Binh, a number of other international leaders are also expected to attend the ceremony in the Russian capital Moscow, including the President of Brazil, the President of Serbia and the Prime Minister of Slovakia.
On this occasion, Russian President Putin proposed a 3-day ceasefire with Ukraine from May 8-10. However, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said he would only be ready if the ceasefire lasted 30 days.
Russia has denied the possibility in the near future, as Putin stressed his desire for a long-term solution rather than a short-term pause.
