Vietnam and Cuba established diplomatic relations on 2/12/1960. During the resistance war against the US, Cuba was a symbol and leader in the global movement of solidarity and support for Vietnam's just cause, providing invaluable and effective assistance.
The Vietnam-Cuba trade agreement, signed in November 2018 and effective from 1/4/2020, with its preferential tariffs, serves as a crucial legal framework for businesses from both countries to boost cooperation and enhance trade in the coming period.
