Hungary has always considered Vietnam an important partner in the Southeast Asian region. The two countries became Comprehensive Partners in September 2018. In recent years, the political and diplomatic relations between the two countries have grown deeper on the basis of mutual trust and understanding, creating a solid foundation for promoting bilateral relations. Vietnam and Hungary also cooperate closely, effectively and support each other at multilateral forums, especially at the United Nations and within the framework of the Asia-Europe Meeting (ASEM).
Hungary has actively promoted the ratification of the Vietnam-EU Free Trade Agreement (EVFTA) and is the first EU member state to ratify the Investment Protection Agreement (EVIPA). With the advantage of EVFTA, bilateral trade turnover between the two countries has made remarkable progress.
Along with that, education and training is a traditional field of cooperation between the two countries. Hungary has helped train more than 4,000 doctors, masters, and engineers for Vietnam, many of whom have held and are holding important positions in Vietnam.
Cooperation in other traditional fields such as culture, sports, tourism, labor, science and technology, environmental resources, agriculture, water management, etc. has always been promoted by the two countries. The two sides agreed to expand cooperation in new fields such as circular economy, innovation, green finance, renewable energy, digital transformation, etc.
