Returning to the US after more than a year, the head of the Vietnamese Government did not hesitate to express: "This working trip, the Vietnamese delegation came to the US with a very happy mood and it is even more meaningful when Vietnam - US just upgraded the relationship to Comprehensive Strategic Partnership".

When telling the story of Vietnam-US relations, the Prime Minister emphasized: "A Communist Party General Secretary welcomed an American President - the leader of the world's number one economy, a world power, and issued a joint statement to show America's respect for our regime."

The Prime Minister concluded that the Vietnam-US relationship is a model in international relations, going from hatred and war to normalization of relations and now becoming a Comprehensive Strategic Partnership. This result shows the stature and role of Vietnam in the world, and the important position of Vietnam in the US's relations with other countries in the world.

This was also shared by US President Joe Biden at the opening session of the high-level discussion of the United Nations General Assembly.

US President Joe Biden

Right at the beginning of his speech, US President Joe Biden highlighted the Vietnam-US relationship and emphasized: "No one could have imagined that one day the US President would stand next to the Vietnamese leader in Hanoi and declare his commitment to promoting cooperation at the highest level."

The US President affirmed that the Vietnam-US relationship is a testament to the fact that countries can overcome the past, from "adversaries to partners" to together solve challenges and heal wounds.

During the meeting with the Prime Minister in Washington DC, Congressman Kevin McCarthy - Speaker of the US House of Representatives, Congressman Michael McCaul - Chairman of the US House Foreign Affairs Committee; leaders of the US Senate Foreign Affairs Committee, the senators all expressed their joy and appreciation for the results of President Biden's visit to Vietnam, which has brought the relationship between the two countries to establish a new framework.

US National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan expressed his gratitude to Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh for the warm welcome given by General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong, the leaders and people of Vietnam to President Biden and the high-ranking US delegation during their recent visit to Vietnam.

He said that he and many Americans were moved to witness the successful and meaningful visit to Vietnam by the US President as the two countries established a framework for a comprehensive strategic partnership. This is an opportunity for the two countries to build a bright future together.

Also in a "very happy" mood, the representative of overseas Vietnamese, Dr. Hung Tran - founder of a technology company in the US, could not help but be excited when the Vietnam - US relationship was upgraded to a Comprehensive Strategic Partnership. This creates many opportunities for Vietnam to take advantage of building technological solutions to develop the digital economy.

He said that young people in Silicon Valley are ready to join hands in training high-quality technology human resources, helping Vietnam take advantage of the opportunities that the Vietnam-US relationship brings.

The event of Vietnam-US relations being upgraded to Comprehensive Strategic Partnership also received attention from the business community. Many businesses are excited and hopeful for new waves of investment and trade cooperation between the two countries.

Responding to the expectations of businesses, the Prime Minister said that his visit to the US this time will contribute to concretizing the joint statement and cooperation plans between the two sides. In particular, the two sides will cooperate in the fields of science and technology, innovation, economics, trade, investment, etc.

On the basis of the Vietnam-US comprehensive strategic partnership, the Prime Minister called on investors, businesses and people from the US and around the world to invest in Vietnam in priority areas where Vietnam has strengths, such as digital transformation, green transformation, circular economic development, knowledge-based economy and the fields of science and technology, innovation and entrepreneurship.

Inviting American people and businesses to come to Vietnam to witness the innovation, the Prime Minister affirmed: "Vietnam is ready to open its doors to welcome all businesses to invest and do business legally, stably and effectively for the strength and prosperity of each country."

The consistent message during his working trip to the US was once again emphasized by the Prime Minister at the High-level General Debate of the 78th United Nations General Assembly held at the United Nations headquarters.

It is the spirit of "putting aside the past, overcoming differences, promoting similarities, and moving towards the future". Vietnam has turned enemies into friends, transformed confrontation into dialogue, both cooperated and fought, turned opponents into partners, and is considered by international friends as a model of cooperation, overcoming and reconciling after the war for the common development and prosperity of all parties.
