Minsk and Hanoi are interested in developing relations. This is confirmed by the activity of contacts between the countries at all levels. For Belarus, Vietnam is a strategic partner, a reference point for building up our economic presence in Asia. The interest of Vietnam is also high. Belarus and Vietnam are ready to open a direct flight. The launch of the flight programme is scheduled for late 2025 — early 2026. The destination is still under discussion, with a high probability it will be the Vietnamese resort vector.
