During the wartime, the movement of friendship and support for Vietnam was seen everywhere in the world, particularly in Venezuela, a beautiful country in South America. Typical of this friendship was the event in which Venezuelan guerrillas caught alive Intelligence US Lieutenant Colonel Michael Smolen in 1964 to demand the US and Saigon puppet for exchanging Vietnamese Hero Nguyen Van Troi. Since 1989, Vietnam and Venezuela established diplomatic relations and opened embassies in Vietnam (in 2005) and in Venezuela (in 2006).

On the occasion of the 85th anniversary of Vietnam’s Women Union and to make bilateral relations closer, Vietnam’s Women Union in collaboration with Venezuelan embassy in Vietnam inaugurated the Exhibition “Venezuelan Women and the Cause of Socialist Construction in the 21st Century” in the morning of Oct. 5, 2015, at Vietnamese Women’s Museum.
