Vietnamese President [[Nguyễn Minh Triết]] arrived in Caracas on 18 November for a two-day official visit on an invitation from Hugo Chávez.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.nhandan.com.vn/english/news/201108/domestic_p.htm|title=Báo Nhân Dân - Phiên bản tiếng Việt|website=Báo Nhân Dân - Phiên bản tiếng Việt|access-date=18 September 2009|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140912011929/http://www.nhandan.com.vn/english/news/201108/domestic_p.htm|archive-date=12 September 2014|url-status=dead}}</ref> Triet hailed Vietnam's friendship with Venezuela as he sought to focus on tying up oil and gas deals, including a joint development fund. He said that "We (Vietnamese) are grateful for the support and solidarity that they (Venezuelans) have offered us until now." Triết said.

Since Hugo Chávez's visit to Vietnam in 2006, his government stepped up bilateral relations with the country, which also included a visit by the Communist Party general secretary, [[Nông Đức Mạnh]] in 2007. [[Petróleos de Venezuela]] and [[Petrovietnam]] also announced a number of joint projects since the 2006 visit, including Petrovietnam's was given a concession in the [[Orinoco]] basin and an agreement to transport Venezuelan oil to Vietnam, where the two would together build an oil refinery that Vietnam lacks. On the 2006 visit, Chávez praised Vietnam's revolutionary history as he attacked the United States for its "imperialist" crimes in the [[Vietnam War]]. On the 2008 visit Triết returned similar comments as he lauded a group of Venezuelans who captured a US soldier during the Vietnam war in an unsuccessful bid to prevent the execution of a Vietnamese revolutionary.<ref name="ap-nam"/> The two leaders also signed a deal for a $200&nbsp;million joint fund and 15 cooperation projects.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.google.com/hostednews/afp/article/ALeqM5jL1WR-f-SEhFKgCGZTgXb4LzG1hQ |title=AFP: Vietnam and Venezuela set up 200 million dollar joint fund |access-date=11 November 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090310025711/http://www.google.com/hostednews/afp/article/ALeqM5jL1WR-f-SEhFKgCGZTgXb4LzG1hQ |archive-date=10 March 2009 |url-status=dead}}</ref>

In March 2008 an agreement was signed to cooperate in tourism between Vietnam and Venezuela. President Nguyễn Minh Triết received the PDVSA's vice president Asdrubal Chavez and stated that oil and gas cooperation would become a typical example of their multi-faceted cooperation.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.mofa.gov.vn/en/nr040807104143/nr040807105001/ns090810102937|title=- State President receives Venezuelan oil corp.'s vice president|website=Mofa.gov.vn|access-date=21 February 2015}}</ref> In 2009 the Venezuelan government approved $46.5&nbsp;million for an agricultural development project with Vietnam.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.mofa.gov.vn/en/nr040807104143/nr040807105001/ns090330083057|title=- Venezuela, Vietnam cooperate in agriculture|website=Mofa.gov.vn|access-date=21 February 2015}}</ref>
