The visit will be made at the invitation of Chairman of the National Assembly Vuong Dinh Hue, the Vietnamese NA’s Committee for Foreign Affairs said in an announcement on March 21.

Last year, Viet Nam and Finland marked the 50th founding anniversary of their diplomatic relations.

Since the Europe-Viet Nam Free Trade Agreement (EVFTA) took effect in 2020, trade between Viet Nam and Finland has recorded impressive growth, reaching US$430 million in 2022.

Finland is one of 13 foreign countries that Viet Nam unilaterally waves visas. Accordingly, Finnish citizens are allowed to stay in Viet Nam within 45 days from the date of entry, regardless of passport type and entry purpose./.
