At the meeting, General Secretary and President To Lam shared his assessment of the special relationship between Vietnam and the United States, considering it a model of efforts to heal and build post-war relations.
With the upgrading of relations to Comprehensive Strategic Partnership, Vietnam-US relations have truly entered a new page. For the relationship between the two countries to reach the level it has today, Vietnam greatly appreciates the great contributions of the US Congress as well as “icebreakers” such as the late Senator John McCain, Senator Patrick Leahy, Senator John Kerry… in mending and promoting the relationship between the two countries.
The General Secretary and President affirmed that Vietnam is always consistent with the foreign policy of independence, self-reliance, multilateralization, diversification, being a friend, reliable partner, active and responsible member of the international community; especially attaching importance to Vietnam's development goals and growth in the new era.
The General Secretary and President was pleased to acknowledge the positive results in implementing the Vietnam-US Comprehensive Strategic Partnership framework over the past year and hoped that the US Congress would continue to support the strong and stable development of the new partnership framework.
Looking forward to the 30th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries in 2025, the General Secretary and President hoped that the two countries would continue to actively and effectively implement the Joint Statement on upgrading relations in 2023, especially the US continuing to exchange and coordinate to soon recognize Vietnam's Market Economy Status; at the same time, closely cooperate and make positive and responsible contributions to the common work of the international community, responding to global issues.
