Ties in economy, trade and investment remained key for relations, with trade growing from 36 billion USD in 2014, when Osius took office, to more than 50 billion USD at present. Total US investment in Vietnam has surpassed 10 billion USD.
He expressed his belief that with the sound development of Vietnam-US ties, these figures will keep rising.
Welcoming an upcoming visit to Vietnam by President Donald Trump, PM Phuc applauded Ambassador Osius’s contribution to the enhancement of bilateral relations.
Vietnam-US ties will continue to contribute to peace, stability, cooperation and development in Asia-Pacific and the world, he added.
For his part, Osius said the PM’s visit to the US last May helped drive development in the countries’ ties. He voiced his hope that the upcoming visit to Vietnam by President Trump will bring bilateral relations to a new height.
He also praised Vietnamese ministries, sectors and localities’ efforts in organising APEC meetings and preparing for the APEC Economic Leaders’ Week in Da Nang city this November. He said this is an occasion for the country to show its dynamism to the world.
The diplomat also hoped to continue helping tighten the two countries’ relations, especially in education.
