Kazakhstan is currently Vietnam's second largest trading partner in the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU). In contrast, within the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), Vietnam is Kazakhstan's second largest trading partner. Vietnam mainly exports to Kazakhstan items such as phones and components, machinery, equipment, computers, electronics, agricultural products (rice, cashew nuts, pepper), seafood, canned vegetables, clothing, footwear; and imports from Kazakhstan raw materials such as unprocessed lead, zinc, iron, stainless steel, and non-ferrous metal products.
