President Lula da Silva is the first foreign head of state to visit Vietnam in 2025, marking his second visit to the country as Brazil's leader, following his first official trip in 2008.

His visit comes as Vietnam and Brazil recently elevated their bilateral ties to a Strategic Partnership during Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh's attendance at the G20 Summit in Rio de Janeiro in November 2024. This upgrade reflects the dynamic, substantial, and effective growth of their relationship, signifying a major step forward in political and diplomatic cooperation.

President Lula da Silva’s visit underscores the complementary strengths of both nations and highlights their vital economic roles, particularly in key sectors such as agriculture, science and technology, and innovation. The visit is also expected to unlock new avenues for collaboration in trade, economic development, and investment, while fostering deeper people-to-people exchanges./.
