The earliest association of Vietnam with the Baháʼí Faith was a brief mention of French Indochina—of which the country was then a part—as a destination for Baháʼí teachers in ʻAbdu'l-Bahá's Tablets of the Divine Plan.[1] The specific tablet in question was written on 11 April 1916, but was delayed in being presented in the United States until 1919, after the end of World War I and the Spanish flu. These tablets were translated and presented by Mirza Ahmad Sohrab on 4 April 1919, and published in Star of the West magazine on 12 December 1919.[5]
