I. Vietnam – Albania relations

Albania recognized and established diplomatic relations with Vietnam on  February 11th 1950. From 1954 to 1975, Albanian offered Vietnam with government aids (16.048 million Rupee) in goods, and people aids (1.5 million Rupee).

Since the change in the Albanian political regime (March 1992), the two countries maintained normal relations. Albania closed its Embassy in Hanoi on 24th June 1992 and assigned its ambassador to Malaysia to hold duty in Vietnam. On July 9th 1992, Vietnam closed its Embassy in Tirana and assigned its ambassador to Hungary to be in charge of Albania. The two foreign ministries have exchanged diplomatic notes to exempt visas for people holding diplomatic and official passports. In January 1996, Vietnam sent an economic-trade delegation headed by its Trade Deputy Minister to visit Albania and signed an economic-trade cooperation Agreement, as well as an Agreement on Cooperation in culture, science and technology.
