Vietnam and Kazakhstan established diplomatic relations in 1992. Since the Vietnam-Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) Free Trade Agreement went into effect in 2016, bilateral trade turnover between Vietnam and Kazakhstan has increased by around 28% annually, reaching 600 million USD last year. The two countries now aim for trade turnover to reach 1.5 billion USD by 2030.

Kazakhstan has five FDI projects in Vietnam, with a total registered capital of half a million USD , focusing on science, technology, telecommunications and retail.

Around 10,000 visitors travel from Kazakhstan to Vietnam a year.
