Ambassador Son conveyed the invitation of President Tran Dai Quang to President Sebastian Pinera to visit Vietnam.

He pledged to contribute to the development of relations between the two countries’ governments and peoples.

Vietnam and Chile have enjoyed sound ties in all fields since the establishment of diplomatic relations in 1971.

The two nations have signed many deals facilitating their affiliation, including a free trade agreement in 2012. Two-way trade grew to 1.3 billion USD in 2017 from under 200 million USD in 2005.

The newly-signed Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP), of which Vietnam and Chile are members, is expected to drive bilateral economic, trade and investment cooperation.
