Thanking Minister To Lam for the meeting, Ambassador Marc Knapper pledged that the US Embassy will continue to coordinate and work closely with functional units of the Vietnamese Ministry of Public Security in implementing cooperation contents of mutual interest in line with the contents agreed upon by senior leaders of the two countries in the framework of the Vietnam-US Comprehensive Strategic Partnership, for peace, cooperation and sustainable development.
