The year 2023 marked a remarkable improvement in the U.S.- Viet Nam relations as the two countries officially upgraded their bilateral ties to a comprehensive strategic partnership for peace, cooperation and sustainable development.
Viet Nam and Cuba have maintained close relations since they established diplomatic relations on December 2, 1960. Although the current trade exchange value is still modest at about US$250 to 300 million, two-way turnover is capable of reaching US$500 million by 2025./.
