Vietnam and Mozambique first established diplomatic ties in June 1975.

The two countries have carried out a number of cooperation projects in the agriculture and fisheries sector, as well as having signed numerous agreements in other fields such as a framework agreement on economic, cultural, scientific and technological cooperation, a trade agreement in 2003 and an agreement on investment encouragement and protection in 2007.

In 2014, the two governments reached another agreement on joint research into food crop development in Mozambique for the 2013-2017 period.
