#Vietnam - US relations

Minister of Public Security General To Lam hosted a meeting with US Ambassador to Vietnam Marc Knapper, on the afternoon of March 4, 2024, in Hanoi.

The year 2023 has witnessed important progress in the relationship between Vietnam and the US, with strong and comprehensive development of bilateral ties across all fields, stated Vietnamese Ambassador to the US Nguyen Quoc Dung.

Public opinion in the US is generally positive about Vietnamese Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh’s trip to the US from September 17-23 to attend the 78th session of the United Nations General Assembly, which took place immediately after the upgrading of the Vietnam - US relations to a comprehensive strategic partnership on the occasion of US President Joe Biden’s official visit to Vietnam.

Vietnam and the US have achieved many positive achievements in bilateral relations since the normalisation of relations in 1995 and after 10 years of their comprehensive partnership (2013-2023), said former US Secretary of Defence Chuck Hagel.

Ahead of US President Joe Biden’s State visit to Vietnam on September 10-11, Vietnamese Ambassador to the US Nguyen Quoc Dung has expressed his belief that the trip will create a new impetus for bilateral relations to reach a new height.

Deputy Minister of Public Security Lieutenant General Le Quoc Hung received US Assistant Secretary of State for East Asia – Pacific Daniel Kritenbrink, who is on a visit to Vietnam, on October 11, in Hanoi.

Many people had doubts when Vietnam and the US announced normalisation of their relations because of existing “war wounds”. However, the Vietnam-US relation has remarked countless memorable events over the last 25 years. These are honored as historical events.
