The invitation has been extended by President Luong Cuong of Vietnam, the ministry said in its recently issued press communique.
Vietnam and Jordan established diplomatic relations on August 9, 1980. Currently, Jordan’s Embassy in Singapore is accredited to Vietnam, while Vietnam’s Embassy in the United Arab Emirates concurrently covers Jordan.
The two countries have maintained high-level delegation exchanges over the years. Bilateral cooperation in trade and investment has also grown steadily. In 2024, two-way trade reached USD 188.14 million, with Vietnamese exports valued at USD 180.53 million. Vietnam’s key export items are agricultural and aquatic products, electronic goods and components, textiles, chemicals, wood, plastics, and equipment. Its imports from Jordan include textiles, fertilizers, and chemical products.
As of September 2025, Jordan had five active investment projects in Vietnam with a total registered capital of about USD 1 million, ranking 108th out of 153 countries and territories investing in Vietnam. Vietnam has yet to invest in Jordan.
Although the two countries have not yet established a Political Consultation Mechanism or Joint Committee, they continue to coordinate and support each other at regional and international forums.
Vietnam and Jordan have signed several important cooperation agreements, including the air transport agreement (1994) and the agreement on economic and trade cooperation (1997).
