Summary/Abstract: This year we celebrate 28 years of diplomatic relations between the European Union and Vietnam, a period during which the two parties have endeavored to expand and diversify their relationship. Thus, the EU-Vietnam partnership have evolved continuously over the years, moving from an initial focus on development cooperation and trade to an increased political cooperation on issues of global concern. Taking into account the dynamic and positive developments of the EU-Vietnam partnership, the purpose of this study is to highlight the most important milestones in bilateral relations and also to analyze how this partnership has contributed to the Vietnam’s unprecedented economic growth and development. In addition, the study aims to emphasize the Romanian-Vietnamese traditional friendship and, through its prism, the support provided by Romania as an EU Member State in the process of strengthening EU-Vietnam relations.
