The visit was made at the invitation of President Nguyen Xuan Phuc and his Spouse.
An official welcome ceremony for the Sierra Leone leader will be held at the Presidential Palace on March 15.
Following that, the two Presidents are scheduled to hold talks and witness the signing of agreements between their countries.
President Julius Maada Bio will have meetings with Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh and National Assembly Chairman Vuong Dinh Hue.
He is set to pay tribute to the late President Ho Chi Minh, lay wreaths at the Monument to Heroes and Martyrs, visit the Temple of Literature and the FPT University, and attend a business forum in Ha Noi. He will also take part in some other activities in Can Tho city and Ho Chi Minh City.
The official trip to Viet Nam by the President of Sierra Leone is the first visit by a head of state between the two countries. It is also a stride in bilateral relations in the context that African countries, including Sierra Leone, attach importance to the establishment and development of their cooperative ties with Asia-Pacific nations, including Viet Nam.
