The agreement was reached at a meeting on April 15 between Vietnamese Minister of Culture, Sports and Tourism Hoang Tuan Anh and Myanmar Minister of Culture Khin Aung Myint.
Mr Tuan Anh said he hoped the two countries will also cooperate in the fields of aviation, banking, and post and telecommunications.
Cultural cooperation will focus on cultural exchanges between the two countries, student exchanges, and activities in the fields of museum, heritage, and performing arts.
Mr Aung Myint said he hopes the Vietnamese Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism will soon set up archaeological teams to work with Myanmar archaeologists.
