Diplomatic relations between the UAE and Vietnam were established since 1993. But in fact, friendship and cooperation between the UAE and Vietnam had been established for a long time.
The UAE is Vietnam’s important partner in the Middle East. Vietnam also can be a gateway for the UAE to the South East Asia. Political relationship between Vietnam and the UAE has been developed well, which has laid a firm foundation for diversified cooperation and relations between the two countries.
Vietnam opened its Consulate in Dubai in October 1997 and its Trade Centre in Dubai in July 2004. The opening of Vietnam Embassy in Abu Dhabi in January 2008 and the opening of UAE Embassy in Hanoi in November 2008 reflected the two countries’ government and people’s wish to strengthen friendship and cooperation with each other.
