This upgrade was announced during the Prime Minister’s visit to Viet Nam as the two countries mark 50 years of diplomatic relations.
Both leaders discussed opportunities to further grow and deepen the relationship between New Zealand and Viet Nam across economics, trade and investment, defence and security, education, and people-to-people connections under the new partnership.
“Strengthening our relationship with Viet Nam is incredibly important to New Zealand’s economic future, with more opportunities for businesses at home to access this crucial market. I am delighted that Prime Minister Chinh and I today agreed to take the relationship between our countries to the next level,” Luxon said.
“A Comprehensive Strategic Partnership is the highest level of partnership with Viet Nam and is a fitting way to commence our 2025 anniversary year.
“This significant upgrade in the relationship is a major milestone and demonstrates the high level of trust, ambition, and strategic alignment between our countries. Viet Nam is the rising star of Asia, and the opportunities to work together on common goals are enormous.
“Today, Prime Minister Chinh and I reflected on the flourishing relationship between New Zealand and Viet Nam, and the shared ambition to expand cooperation and to do more together across a wide range of priorities.
“The agreement also shows the priority my Government is placing on relationships with Southeast Asia – a region crucial to our plan to grow our economy, create jobs and lift incomes.”
Prime Minister Luxon’s visit to Viet Nam continues tomorrow with a range of business and political engagements in both Ha Noi and Ho Chi Minh City.

Whilst left leaning and "will write anything If paid enough" journalists attack NZs Prime Minister, Luxon and his ministers, quietly get on with their exceptional work program.
International trade makes money for nz and tackling the NZ power rort saves us money.
NZ is climbing out of recession whilst the building blocks for sustainable growth are laid.
Productivity will be Luxons next big challenge.
Nothing exceptional here Mark. This trade deal comes under the title the "bleeding obvious" and should have been done over 20 years ago. If we had people in Mfat who actually knew anything about Asia economically NZ would have been in on the ground floor with trading with Vietnam. Far more worthy trade partner than China will ever be. A more accurate observation would have described the 78 year old Winston Peters talks in Beijing with a war mongering China followed by a cordial and Intelligent conversation with Hyundai on the specifications for the downsized ferries. That will be settled by the end of March. Will there be ANY praise from you Mr paid troll? Luxon will be doing very little, still, then.And Willis the ever vacant will be faffing about. National need to be booted from the top spot. They are simply not up to it.
