Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs Le Thi Thu Hang is visiting Azerbaijan. On April 21, Deputy Minister Le Thi Thu Hang and Azerbaijani Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs E. Mammadov chaired a political consultation.
The two sides reviewed and agreed on the content, plan, and program of high-level delegation exchanges, assessed the results of implementing agreements reached by the two countries' leaders in recent times, and exchanged opinions on the current situation and measures to promote bilateral relations.
The traditional good friendship between the two countries has developed for many decades before the establishment of official diplomatic relations in 1992.

In the early 1980s, General Secretary Le Duan visited Azerbaijan; Azerbaijani leader Geydar Alyev also visited Vietnam at that time in his capacity as First Vice Chairman of the Council of Ministers of the Soviet Union. The two sides maintained many delegation exchanges through all Party, State, and National Assembly channels between ministries, sectors, and localities, thereby contributing to strengthening political trust between the two countries.
Reviewing the achievements in bilateral relations, the two Deputy Ministers agreed to continue to maintain delegation exchanges and regular contacts at all levels, especially high levels, and through many channels and fields.
The two Foreign Ministries will make maximum efforts and coordinate closely to carefully prepare and successfully organize visits and activities of high-ranking leaders.
Deputy Minister Le Thi Thu Hang and Azerbaijani Deputy Minister E. Mammadov said that the current turnover is still very modest compared to the potential and strengths of the two countries, not really stable and not meeting the expectations of both sides.
