Hanoi (VNA) - The Bank for Investment and Development of Vietnam (BIDV) has been allowed by the State Bank of Vietnam (SB🔯V) to open a representative office in Moscow, Russia.
The BIDV is the sole Vietnamese bank to have its representative office in Russia.
The BIDV's Chairman Tran Bac Ha said the office would help spur economic, trade and investment co-operation between Vietnam and Russia. It will collect information, conduct market research, establish co-operative relations and serve as a bridge to connect BIDV and relevant agencies, partners and potential and existed clients in Russia.
