History

Medieval relations

Persian traders had settled its trades in Vietnam during the 15th century and there had been a number of economic relations at that time.

Alexandre de Rhodes, who designed the modern Latin Vietnamese alphabet, died in Isfahan, Iran.[1] Since his death, his grave has been a pilgrimate for many Vietnamese who regarded him as the founding father of modern Vietnamese alphabet and protector of Vietnamese heritage.[2] His grave was later erected in both French, Vietnamese, English and Persian as a dedication.

Pre-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.[citation needed]

Post-Revolution

Three Iranian presidents have visited Vietnam, Hassan Rouhani in 2016, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad in 2012, and Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani in 1995.[3]

During Rouhani's visit the two nations pledged to boost future trade to US$2 billion.[3]
