According to Spokesperson of the Foreign Ministry Pham Thu Hang, the trip takes place amidst the robust development of the bilateral relations across multiple sectors.
The bonds between the two countries officially began in 1950, when Bulgaria was one of the first nations worldwide to establish diplomatic relations with the Southeast Asian country.
Over the recent past, the two countries have maintained regular delegation exchanges, particularly at high level, as well as closely coordinated and supported each other at multilateral forums.
They have seen progress in the economic and trade ties, with trade volume reaching US$200 million a year during 2021-2023, nearly doubling the figure during 2019-2020.
Educational cooperation stands as a cornerstone of the bilateral relationship. Bulgaria has played a crucial role in Vietnam's human resources development, helping the country train 3,600 Vietnamese scientists and around 30,000 skilled technicians.
Labour cooperation is also a potential area while locality-to-locality collaboration has been bolstered with twinning ties established between localities of both nations.
