Viet Nam and Argentina established diplomatic ties on October 25, 1973. Next year, the two nations will celebrate the 50th founding anniversary of the diplomatic relations.

Both sides upgraded bilateral ties to comprehensive partnership in 2010.

In 2021, the bilateral trade value hit over US$4.5 billion, up 14.1 percent against the previous year.

Argentina is currently the third largest trade partner of Viet Nam in Latin America.

Last year, Argentina donated 500,000 AstraZeneca vaccine doses to Viet Nam to fight against COVID-19.
