As one of the first ministries of the Provisional Government of the Democratic Republic of Vietnam, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs was founded by President Ho Chi Minh, who held the position of its first Minister. Through two resistance wars and nearly 40 years of Doi Moi, diplomacy has always been at the forefront, contributing to turning Vietnam from a colonial nation into a dynamic and prestigious nation in the region and the world.
