Seventy years of cooperation and friendship

Historic and time-honoured links with loyal friend Romania

Having adopted bilateral diplomatic ties in  一 九 五0, Romania was one of the first countries to establish a relationship with Việt Nam. 

Romania has supported Việt Nam during the country’s struggle for independence, reunification and national construction. More than  三,000 students, post-graduates and trainees have been sent to Romania, while over  二,000 Vietnamese labourers are working in the European nation. Over the decades, Romanian universities have trained more than  四,000 specialists for Việt Nam.

Since  一 九 九0, the countries have signed documents to create a legal framework for their co-operation.

One of those agreements was on economic cooperation signed in  二00 九. As a result, bilateral trade has risen in recent years, reaching US$ 二 一 七 million in  二0 一 七 and over US$ 二 一 八 million in  二0 一 八. The figure was estimated at US$ 四 一. 六 million in the first two months of  二0 一 九.

Việt Nam’s key exports to Romania include coffee, seafood, pepper, textiles and garments, leather shoes and computer components. Romania’s main products shipped to Việt Nam are chemicals, fertilisers, construction steel, plastic granules, oil and gas drilling equipment and wooden products.
