The friendship and multifaceted cooperation between Vietnam and Argentina have been continuously strengthened and developed since the two nations established diplomatic ties on October 25, 1973.

Several agreements were signed in the spheres of economy, trade, investment, agriculture, and science-technology.

Bilateral trade reached nearly US$3 billion in 2018, the highest figure between Argentina and any Southeast Asian country.
