This occasion also allows Vietnam to affirm its role as an active, responsible member of the international community, expressing its viewpoints and sharing development experiences. Vietnam aims to contribute practical initiatives and solutions to common global issues such as peace, stability, sustainable development, and climate change response.
The presence of Vietnam's Head of state is even more meaningful as this year marks the 80th anniversary of the United Nations' founding and the 80th anniversary of the establishment of the Democratic Republic of Vietnam, now the Socialist Republic of Vietnam – both entities born from the aspiration for peace, national independence, and human progress.

This visit coincides with the 30th anniversary of the normalization of diplomatic relations and the second anniversary of the establishment of the Vietnam-U.S. Comprehensive Strategic Partnership for peace, cooperation, and sustainable development. These activities will contribute to maintaining stability and promoting comprehensive development of bilateral relations in the future.
