History
Pre-1975 and Islamic Revolution
Relations of both Iran and Vietnam did not really exist due to the Vietnam War. Iran was a pro-Western country while Vietnam was divided between Communist North and Republic South.
Today
Vietnam is one of few countries in the world to show direct support for the Iranian Revolution.
Three Iranian presidents have visited Viet Nam, Hassan Rouhani in 2016, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad in 2012, and Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani in 1995.[1]
During Rouhani's visit the two nations pledged to boost future trade to $2 billion.[1]
