VOV.VN - The 54th anniversary of the UAE’s National Day themed “United “was solemnly celebrated on December 2 by the Embassy of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) in Hanoi.
This year’s theme reflects the cohesion of UAE society and the values of cooperation and joint efforts that have contributed to shaping the nation.
Those in attendance at the event included Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs Nguyen Minh Hang, ambassadors, chargés d’affaires, representatives of foreign embassies in Vietnam, alongside representatives from UAE businesses, Vietnamese ministries, sectors, and localities.
In his opening remarks, UAE Ambassador to Vietnam Bader Almatrooshi said that over recent decades the UAE has undergone a profound transformation across multiple fields, from economic diversification and sustainable development to space exploration, clean energy and artificial intelligence, positioning the country among those at the forefront of shaping the future.
He reaffirmed that his nation pursues a balanced and open foreign policy, with dialogue and mutual understanding at the center of its global cooperation efforts. The country’s participation in G20 meetings, its membership in BRICS, and the expansion of Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreements worldwide, including with Vietnam, show the UAE’s positive and constructive presence in the international arena.
According to the ambassador, relations between the UAE and Vietnam represent a strong, mutually beneficial relationship founded on respect and shared interests. Ties have developed rapidly in recent years with the strong backing of both governments and the private sector to help realize the vision of both nations’ leaders.
High-level exchanges have continued to underline the importance of this partnership, exemplified by the meeting between Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi Sheikh Khalid bin Mohammed Al Nahyan and Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh on the sidelines of the G20 Summit.
Bilateral trade rose by 50% during the 2023-2024 period to reach US$12 billion. Vietnam’s fruit and vegetable exports to the UAE soared by 49% by the end of the third quarter of 2025 compared with the same period in 2024.
In 2025, cooperation in tourism, culture and people-to-people exchanges also made notable progress. Emirates Airlines expanded its services to four routes connecting Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City and the central city of Da Nang, while Etihad Airways launched a new direct air route between Abu Dhabi and Hanoi.
In August, the UAE Embassy and the Vietnam Ministry of Foreign Affairs co-organized a conference in Tay Ninh province focusing on the UAE’s strategic role in linking agricultural supply chains in the Mekong Delta with markets in the Middle East and Africa.
A wide range of investment promotion forums were also held in both Vietnam and the UAE, jointly organized by the Ministry of Industry and Trade, Dubai Multi Commodities Centre (DMCC), the Free Zones Authority of Ajman, and the Jebel Ali Free Zone (Jafza).
On behalf of the Government and people of Vietnam, Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs Nguyen Minh Hang extended warm congratulations to Ambassador Bader Almatrooshi and to all UAE nationals living and working in Vietnam on the occasion of the country’s National Day anniversary.
She highlighted that the UAE’s remarkable achievements over the past 54 years under the leadership of President Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, alongside its pioneering efforts in economic diversification, innovation, artificial intelligence, clean energy and sustainable development, have not only driven the nation’s strong transformation but also provided inspiration for countries such as Vietnam in the current era of transition and development.
The Vietnamese diplomat noted that the UAE is Vietnam’s leading economic partner in the Middle East and its largest export market in the region, with emerging opportunities across logistics, renewable energy, innovation, digital transformation and people-to-people exchanges.
She emphasized that beyond economic ties, the UAE remains a sincere and reliable friend of Vietnam, sharing common aspirations for peace, cooperation and prosperity, and reaffirmed Vietnam’s commitment to working closely with the UAE to realize the shared vision of shaping a more strategic, more innovative and more future-oriented era of cooperation that fully unlocks the potential of the bilateral partnership.
Vietnam and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) have affirmed their shared priority of strengthening practical and effective defence cooperation during a series of high-level meetings held on the sidelines of the Dubai Airshow 2025.
