Viet Nam and Algeria set up diplomatic relations in 1962.

According to the Vietnamese Ministry of Industry and Trade, the two-way trade volume reached nearly US$250 million last year. In the first quarter this year, Viet Nam’s exports to the North African country stood at some US$70 million.

Both countries have signed a number of agreements on economic, scientific and technological cooperation, trade, investment promotion and encouragement, legal assistance and health.
