At a reception in Hanoi on May 22 for David Zapolsky, Senior Vice President and Chief Global Affairs and Legal Officer at Amazon, General Secretary and President Lam congratulated the company on its recent successes and praised its performance in Vietnam, pointing to its positive contributions to the Southeast Asian country's development as well as Vietnam – US relations.

Vietnam considers the US one of its most important partners, he said, expressing his wish that the bilateral relationship will continue to grow in line with the Comprehensive Strategic Partnership, with economic, trade and investment ties as the main engine and sci-tech cooperation as a new breakthrough.

The top leader noted that Vietnam is accelerating the push for a transparent legal framework, underscoring the importance of intellectual property protection and creating favourable conditions for investment and trade by hi-tech firms, in the spirit of fostering development linked to a growth model driven by sci-tech.

He suggested Amazon further leverage its strengths and positive track record in Vietnam and continue serving as an important partner in following the Politburo’s Resolution 57 on breakthroughs in sci-tech, innovation and digital transformation, making practical contributions to data infrastructure, artificial intelligence (AI) and quality workforce training in Vietnam.
