Hanoi, The Gulf Observer: Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez arrived in Hanoi on Tuesday evening, marking the start of his official visit to Vietnam from April 8 to 10, 2025. The visit is at the invitation of Vietnamese Prime Minister Phạm Minh Chính and holds significant historical importance as the first official trip by a Spanish Prime Minister to Vietnam since the two countries established diplomatic relations in 1977.
This visit is the first high-level trip from Spain to Vietnam since the 2006 visit by King Juan Carlos and Queen Sofia. It comes shortly after the two nations celebrated the 15th anniversary of their Strategic Partnership in 2024.
