Türkiye has frequently sent delegations to major events hosted by the Vietnamese NA, including the IPU-132 in 2015 and the 9th Global Conference of Young Parliamentarians in 2023. Both countries have also set up parliamentary friendship groups.

The working trip is expected to consolidate political trust, further deepen parliamentary collaboration and overall bilateral ties./.
