Mongolia was one of the first countries to establish diplomatic relations with Vietnam (November 17, 1954) and Vietnam was the first in Southeast Asia that Mongolia set up diplomatic ties with.
Over the past nearly seven decades, the Vietnam-Mongolia friendship has been continuously strengthened and developed strongly. Although the bilateral trade has remained modest, statistics showed that it has made progress, increasing from 81 million USD in 2021 to 85 million USD last year, and the value stood at 65 million USD in the first seven months of this year.
