The Coordination Center for TLD .RU of the Russian Federation (CC for TLD .RU) is the national registry responsible for the management of the Russian country code top-level domains (.RU and .РФ).

Within the framework of APTLD 86 in Da Nang City, aiming to enhance the effectiveness of bilateral cooperation and align with the development orientations of both organizations in the new phase, VNNIC and CC for TLD .RU proceeded to sign the 2024 Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the objective of strengthening the management and development of the country code top-level domain (ccTLD) systems of the two countries.

During the meeting, both sides discussed measures to further enhance information sharing, policy coordination, and strategies for developing, managing, and promoting national domain name systems, as well as to strengthen cooperation in human resource development through information exchange and training activities.

VNNIC and CC for TLD .RU also agreed to intensify collaboration in community engagement and Internet development in Viet Nam, through cooperation in organizing events, providing experts and speakers for VNNIC’s annual activities, and supporting each other’s projects and initiatives at international forums such as ICANN and APTLD in the future.
