History
Relationship between Algeria and Vietnam is the oldest relationship between Vietnam with an Arab country in the Arab World. [citation needed] The relationship started when France ruled two countries at 19th century.
When France conquered Vietnam at 19th century, King Hàm Nghi of Vietnam was forced to abdicate the throne after French suppression of the Cần Vương movement. The Vietnamese King was exiled to French Algeria and later lived the rest of his life in Algeria and married a Pied-Noir woman.[2] It was the first ever contact between Algeria and Vietnam, and later, they were together linked by French colonization.
