The visit comes at the invitation of his Vietnamese counterpart Nguyen Tan Dung and is the first of its kind since the European country declared independence in 1991. Viet Nam and Estonia have had an established traditional friendship since the latter was still part of the Soviet Union.

The two countries on February 20, 1992, signed a protocol establishing diplomatic ties at the ambassador level.
