Indonesia was the first country in Southeast Asia to establish diplomatic relations with Vietnam (December 30, 1955). Vietnam is Indonesia's only strategic partner in Southeast Asia. Bilateral relations have been maintained stably.
In the past two years, due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the legislative bodies of the two countries have exchanged fewer bilateral delegations, but have maintained contact, especially high-level contacts on the sidelines of multilateral parliamentary conferences.
The Vietnamese National Assembly and the Indonesian House of Representatives signed a Cooperation Agreement (March 2010) on the occasion of the official visit to Indonesia by National Assembly Chairman Nguyen Phu Trong. At regional and international inter-parliamentary forums (IPU, AIPA, APF, APPF, ASEP...), the delegations of the two National Assemblies increased exchanges and consultations, and coordinated stances on regional and international issues of mutual concern.
