Vietnamese communist party secretary general Nguyen Phu Trong is currently paying a visit to Russia. The visit is expected to deepen the bilateral ties in all grounds between the two traditional patrons. To some extent, it shows the solidarity of Vietnam toward her old friend -Russia amid the recent trouble the latter get with the West.
Trong, who is a Soviet-trained Marxist scholar, is also widely seen at home as a conservative figure and a wholehearted socialist.
