Karasin comments on Vietnamese Foreign Minister's remarks on «strategic partnership» with the US
Chairman of the Federation Council Committee on International Grigory Karasin advised to get used to focusing on real actions, and not on verbal statements of certain political figures. This is how Karasin commented on the statement by the Vietnamese Foreign Ministry Bui Thanh Son, who said that the United States is a strategic partner of the country.
Karasin said that «maneuvering with words» should be responded to «critically but calmly.»
Vietnamese Foreign Minister Bui Thanh Son spoke about partnership with America during the visit of US Assistant Secretary of State for East Asian and Pacific Affairs Daniel Kritenbrink.
