Political ties between Vietnam and Armenia are growing, with the exchange of all-level delegations. These visits have contributed to maintaining traditional relations and multifaceted cooperation between the two countries. The two sides wish to promote all-round and substantive collaboration on par with the good traditional friendship as well as the potential of the two countries.

Bilateral economic and trade cooperation has shown positive signs thanks to the implementation of the Free Trade Agreement between Vietnam and the Eurasian Economic Union, of which Armenia is a member. Vietnam - Armenia trade reached USD 62.6 million in 2022, up 469% from a year earlier, and hit USD 342 million in 2023, an increase of 516% compared to 2022. There remains room for both countries to boost cooperation in such areas as economy, trade, science, and education.
