This is the French President's first visit to Viet Nam since he took office in 2017 and was re-elected in 2022. It holds special significance for the bilateral relations, especially following the upgrade of the ties to a comprehensive strategic partnership in October 2024 during General Secretary To Lam's official visit to the European country.

Bilateral trade in 2024 recorded an impressive 11 percent increase to reach over US$5.4 billion.

Healthcare collaboration is also emerging as a bright spot, with the recent partnership between Viet Nam's VNVC Vaccination Center and French pharmaceutical giant Sanofi on vaccine production following the elevation of bilateral ties.

Locality-to-locality cooperation continues to flourish, with preparations underway for the 13th Viet Nam–France Decentralized Cooperation Conference, sheduled to be held in France in 2026./.
