VGP - President of Kazakhstan Kassym-Jomart Tokayev will pay an official visit to Viet Nam from June 11–13, according to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Viet Nam and Kazakhstan set up diplomatic ties on September 26, 1992. Based on their fine relationship, both sides are keen to boost multifaceted cooperation in various fields such as politics, economics, trade and culture.
Both nations are committed to supporting each other at the UN and other international forums, thus helping raise their status on the international arena.
Since the launch of the free trade agreement between Viet Nam and the Eurasian Economic Union in 2016, bilateral trade between Viet Nam and Kazakhstan has steadily grown. In the first half of 2022, it rose 57 percent to US$303 million. The two hope to raise two-way trade turnover to US$1.5 billion by 2030 by leveraging a potential in agricultural products, IT, machinery, and beverages./.
