Libya–Vietnam relations

Libya	Vietnam

Libya–Vietnam relations refer to bilateral relations between Libya and Vietnam. The two countries are members of the Group of 77 and the United Nations.

The two countries established diplomatic relations on March 15, 1975. The basis of the relationship is that both countries claim to follow socialism, one-party leadership.

History

The Intergovernmental Committee met for the 10th time in Hanoi in February 1998 and for the 9th time in Tripoli from May 14-17, 2001 (the Vietnamese delegation led by Construction Minister Nguyen Manh Kiem). After many postponements, the 10th session of the National Committee of the two countries met in Hanoi from December 12-14, 2007. At this meeting, the two sides reviewed the minutes of the 9th session, signed a cooperation protocol between VCCI and Libya Chamber of Commerce-CN. Deputy Prime Minister Pham Gia Khiem received the head of the delegation on behalf of the Prime Minister.

Currently, Vietnam has nearly 4000 employees in Libya. The two sides are exchanging hand-to-hand cooperation including Vietnam - Libya and some African countries in the field of investment and agriculture.^[1]

Political relations continue to be promoted: Deputy Foreign Ministers of the two countries visit each other; Foreign Ministers of the two countries sign agreements on political reference^{[citation needed]}, the two sides support each other as non-permanent members of the Security Council/UN and coordinate in international forums; Libya continues to maintain the Office of Economic Cooperation in Hanoi.^{[citation needed]}

The Committee of the two countries met for the 10th session from December 12-14, 2007 in Hanoi and the 11th session in Tripoli in 2008; The delegation of the Vietnam Committee in solidarity with Libya visited and attended a seminar on colonial compensation; labor cooperation on civil construction was expanded with a number of new contracts providing over 4200 workers, economic and trade cooperation continued to be maintained at a modest level

The two countries exchanged many delegations and signed many Agreements and agreements:

• Agreement on Economic and Scientific and Technical Cooperation (February 19, 1976)
• Trade Agreement (October 17, 1983).
• MOU cooperation between 2 BNG (January 31, 2007).

The relationship between the two sides has been praised by the Vietnamese side as follows:

"Thanks to the cultivation of generations of leaders and the efforts of the people of the two countries, the friendship and multifaceted cooperation between Vietnam and Libya are increasingly strengthened and developed."

Libya and many Third World countries supported Hanoi when North Vietnam was still a rival to the United States in the Indochina War.

In addition, the anti-colonial past of North Africa also made leftist movements here love the Viet Minh and later North Vietnam more than usual.

In the Arab World, which has repeatedly lost to the West, the spirit of "Vietnam wins over the US" is a cheer for anti-imperialists.

In the website of the Vietnamese Embassy in Libya it is written:

"The two countries have always supported and helped each other in the previous struggle for independence and freedom as well as in the current construction and development of the country"^[2]

After Libyan Civil War

Due to the impact of the Libyan civil war, the overthrow of the Gaddafi regime led to the overlap in diplomatic relations between Libya and Vietnam, almost freezing even though the Hanoi government had acknowledged the new government in Libya.^{[citation needed]}
