The visit takes place at a time when Vietnam – Canada relations are growing robustly and producing mutual benefits across sectors.
The two countries established diplomatic ties in
1973 and began exchange of high-ranking delegations since 1994.
In September 2014, the Vietnamese and Canadian ministers of foreign affairs signed a letter of intent on boosting bilateral relations. In July 2017, their first political consultation at deputy-foreign-minister level was held in Canada.
