The trip would deepen ties on energy, defence and trade as Vietnam seeks partners to cushion uncertainty in its export-driven economy.
- Vietnam's President To Lam plans to visit Russia, France, the United States, and Canada this September, seeking to deepen ties with major partners amid trade uncertainty facing the export-reliant economy.
- This diplomatic push follows state visits to Australia and New Zealand last month and precedes a scheduled meeting in Hanoi this weekend with Myanmar's President Min Aung Hlaing.
- Lam will visit Russia on September 7 to meet President Vladimir Putin, then attend the International Space Summit in Paris on September 9 to 10, building cooperation in energy and defence.
- The United States visit includes the United Nations General Assembly debate starting September 21, amid strained ties with President Donald Trump over trade imbalances; Lam heads to Canada on September 24.
- Although these plans remain unofficial and subject to change, Lam is expected to return to Europe in October, potentially meeting leaders in Brussels to further broaden his diplomatic agenda.
