Vietnam and its international relations

Although Vietnam is not an EU country, it has important economic and political relations with the European Union. In 2019, Vietnam and the EU signed a free trade agreement (EVFTA), which entered into force in 2020. This agreement is one of the most comprehensive and ambitious that the EU has ever concluded with a developing country. The agreement eliminates most customs duties and facilitates trade and investment between the parties.
