The direction was highlighted during a recent meeting between Vietnamese Ambassador to Romania Le Vinh Thang and key members of the Romanian Senate.

At the meeting, Ambassador Thang emphasised the long-standing friendship between the two countries and noted that bilateral relations are entering a new phase with significant room for further development.

Both sides said Vietnam-Romania cooperation has shown positive momentum in recent years across trade, education and training, labour and tourism. However, beyond trade figures, both countries are increasingly focusing on political and locality-to-locality connectivity as a foundation for long-term cooperation.

One of the priorities identified during the talks was strengthening parliamentary diplomacy and business connections. Romanian senators welcomed Vietnam’s visa exemption policy for Romanian citizens, as several Romanian travel companies have begun operating direct charter flights between the two countries.

In addition to tourism, the two sides identified agriculture, agricultural trade, solar energy, resort real estate, hot mineral water development, labour cooperation, and science and technology as sectors with strong complementary potential.

Romanian lawmakers also expressed interest in Vietnam’s development model, particularly its approach to balancing economic growth with social welfare. They noted Vietnam’s increasingly important role in the Asia-Pacific region.

Both sides agreed to continue promoting high-level exchanges and expanding practical cooperation in the coming years.
