Việt Nam and Spain have signed an agreement on waiving visas for diplomatic passport holders
The agreement was first signed during the official visit of Vietnamese State President Nguyễn Minh Triết to Spain last December.

Việt Nam and Spain established their diplomatic ties in May 1977.

Up until now, Spain has become one of the leading economic partners of Việt Nam in the EU. The two-way trade between both countries has reached the annual growth rate of 30% in recent years. It stood at US $470 million in 2005, US $650 million in 2006, US $860 million in 2007 and over US $1.1 billion in 2008. 

Spain is Việt Nam’s 6th biggest ODA donor.
