Hanoi (VNA) – Vietnamese Ambassador to the US Pham Quang Vinh has expressed his belief that the Vietnam-US comprehensive partnership will keep thriving for the benefit of the two countries.
He made the statement during a recent interview granted to the Vietnam News Agency featuring the new Donald Trump-led US administration’s adjustment of policies to Asia-Pacific, the future of Vietnam-US ties and his personal feeling in the context of the US’s power transition.
Vinh said over the past two decades, Vietnam and the US have seen leaps in bilateral diplomatic ties and become comprehensive partners on the basis of shared benefits. Two-way trade has soared to 50 billion USD from 500 million USD.
The bilateral partnership has expanded across science-technology, investment, education, national defence-security. No matter what adjustments President Trump makes, both sides will still maintain existing shared interests and seek new ones, he said, adding that he believes similarities will be much more than differences and new, better cooperative forms will be needed, he noted.
