Vietnam and Greece established diplomatic relations in 1975. Over the past 47 years, the relationship between the two countries has seen positive development. During the recent COVID-19 outbreak, Greece donated 250,000 doses of the AstraZeneca vaccine to Vietnam’s pandemic fight. Last year’s two-way trade turnover reached more than US$446 million, up 33% over 2020.
