At a reception for US Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs David Hale, Mr. Minh affirmed that Vietnam attaches great importance to the relations with the US and wants to further promote the bilateral ties as the two countries are to mark the 25th anniversary of the normalization of their relations next year.

He proposed that the two sides strengthen contact and dialogues, especially at the high level, as well as further deepen and expand partnerships in trade-investment, security-defence, and enhance cooperation in regional and international issues.

The US official expressed his pleasure at the growing comprehensive partnership between the two countries in recent years and hoped the two sides will deepen relations in all fields.

He affirmed the US’ commitment to peace, security and prosperity in the Indo-Pacific region, saying the US has interests in ensuring rules-based order, freedom, security and safety of navigation and aviation in the East Sea. He said he hoped Vietnam and the US will maintain all-level delegation exchanges, hold regular consultations and coordinate at bilateral and multilateral forums.

Deputy PM Minh also held bilateral meetings with the Prime Minister of Uganda, the Prime Minister of St Vincent and the Grenadines, and the Algerian Foreign Minister. They  congratulated Vietnam on its election as a non-permanent member of the UN Security Council in the next two years and proposed measures to promote cooperation in economy, trade, investment, people-to-people exchanges, and coordination at multilateral forums.
