Jordanian King to pay official visit to Viet Nam this week

The visit will be made at the invitation of State President Luong Cuong, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced Friday.

Viet Nam and the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan established diplomatic relations on August 9, 1980.

In 2024, bilateral trade reached US$188.138 million, with Viet Nam exporting US$180.526 million.

As of the end of September 2025, Jordan had five active investment projects in Viet Nam with a total registered capital of US$1 million, ranking 108th out of 153 countries and territories investing in the Southeast Asian nation.

Last June, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh met with Jordanian King Abdullah II bin Al-Hussein on the sidelines of the 3rd UN Ocean Conference in Nice, France. Pham affirmed that Viet Nam attaches importance to multifaceted cooperation with Jordan.

Pham suggested the two countries soon establish bilateral cooperation mechanisms, including a political consultation mechanism between the two foreign ministries; and explore the possibility of signing a visa exemption agreement for diplomatic and official passport holders to facilitate delegation exchanges and tourism between the two countries. He affirmed that Viet Nam stands ready to cooperate with Jordan in agriculture and support Jordan in ensuring food security.

King Abdullah II bin Al-Hussein expressed his admiration for Viet Nam's socio-economic development achievements and strong rise as well as the hardworking and diligent Vietnamese people.

The two leaders agreed to step up the exchange of delegations at all levels, especially high-level ones, enhance political trust; and consider negotiating and signing a number of cooperation agreements on trade, investment and other fields./.
