Vietnam and Mongolia established diplomatic relations on November 17, 1954. The two countries have a traditional friendship and regularly help and support each other. Mongolia has repeatedly emphasized that Vietnam is its most important partner in Southeast Asia. Vietnam is considering and studying Mongolia's proposal to establish a comprehensive partnership framework.
Trade exchange has grown rapidly recently, reaching about 50 million USD in 2020, about 80 million USD in 2021, 85 million USD in 2022, and expected to reach 75 million USD in the first 8 months of 2023.
As of November 2019, Mongolia had three investment projects in Vietnam with a total capital of 1.1 million USD, ranking 96th out of 126 countries and territories with investment projects in Vietnam.
During the official visit of Minister of Public Security To Lam in July 2019, the two sides signed an Agreement on the Exchange and Protection of Confidential Information (the first agreement that Mongolia has signed with a foreign country) and an Agreement on Extradition of Criminals. In 2020, Mongolia donated 105 breeding horses to support the equipment of the Ministry of Public Security's Cavalry Mobile Police Corps.
As of August, there were about 400 Vietnamese workers living in Mongolia, mainly working in auto repair shops.
