Both countries were part of French colonial empire from late 19th century until mid-20th century, and have enjoyed relative close relations after the establishment of Democratic Republic of Madagascar in 1975. Vietnam opened a resident embassy in Antananarivo in the next year but was closed in 1990 citing financial difficulties. In 2016, Vietnam opened an honorary-consulate in Antananarivo.[2]
