He said Romania was one of the first 10 countries to establish diplomatic relations with Vietnam 75 years ago. Over the historical periods, the comprehensive cooperation between the two countries has been continuously strengthened and expanded in many fields such as education - training, science - technology, security - defense, culture - sports - tourism and health.

Many high-level visits have been carried out, including the official visit to Romania by Vice Chairman of the National Assembly Nguyen Khac Dinh in September 2025, contributing to further strengthening the friendship between the two countries.

Vietnam and Romania also maintain close contact through all Party and State channels; strengthen cooperation between localities and promote people-to-people exchanges. Romania is currently Vietnam's largest partner in the Balkan region, while Vietnam is Romania's largest trade partner in ASEAN.

According to Mr. Ho Quang Loi, established in 1991, the Vietnam - Romania Friendship Association has always been an active member of the Vietnam Union of Friendship Organizations, playing the role of a bridge to promote economic, trade, education and tourism cooperation; supporting labor exchange; actively participating in volunteer activities for the community.

He expressed his belief that the Vietnam-Romania friendship and comprehensive cooperation will continue to develop strongly in the coming time.

Speaking at the event, Romanian Ambassador Cristina Romila affirmed that the traditional good relationship between the two countries remains firmly consolidated in the complex international context. The Ambassador said that Vietnam is currently one of Romania's important partners in the Asia-Pacific region.

In 2025, bilateral cooperation has made many positive steps, especially after Vietnam exempted entry visas for Romanian citizens. Trade and investment continued to be promoted, including in new areas such as green energy.

In terms of politics and foreign affairs, parliamentary dialogue is maintained regularly, demonstrated through the official visit to Bucharest by the Vice President of the Vietnamese National Assembly.
