Speaking at the event, Deputy Minister Nguyen Duy Ngoc welcomed Mr. Todd D. Robinson and hoped that his visit would be of great success and contribute to further promoting cooperation and relations between the Ministry of Public Security (MPS) of Vietnam and the US State Department and relevant agencies.

Ngoc noted that the Party, State and Government leaders of Vietnam see the US as a key partner and wish to promote the Vietnam - US Comprehensive Partnership through all bilateral, regional and global channels on the basis of mutual respect for each other's independence, sovereignty, territorial integrity and political system, and for peace, stability, cooperation and prosperity in the region.

Over the past time, the relationship between the two countries has achieved outstanding developments, bringing practical benefits to the two peoples.

In spite of complicated developments in the COVID-19 pandemic, the two sides still maintained exchange of high-level delegations, notably the visits to Vietnam by US Vice President Kamala Harris, Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin and the US Special Presidential Envoy for Climate.

Additionally, agencies and units of the MPS and Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs (INL) under the US State Department actively cooperated in many fields.

Deputy Minister Ngoc highly appreciated INL's support for the MPS in law enforcement capacity building, adding that the two sides have established and implemented many effective cooperation mechanisms.
