HANOI — Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a series of deals with his Vietnamese counterpart To Lam on Thursday, during a state visit that comes as Moscow is seeking to bolster relations in Asia to offset growing international isolation over its invasion of Ukraine.

The two signed agreements to further cooperate on education, science and technology, oil and gas exploration, and health. They also agreed to work on a roadmap for a nuclear science and technology center in the Southeast Asian country.
