Spokesperson Pham Thu Hang stated: "In recent years, Vietnam has made significant efforts to protect intellectual property, including improving its legal framework, raising public awareness, and enhancing international cooperation with the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), the United States, and many other countries."

“Vietnam has also taken firm action against violations of IP rights. This remains both a high priority and a consistent policy of Vietnam to build a healthy and transparent business environment and to transform its growth model with science and technology, innovation, and digital transformation as key drivers,” she emphasised.

"We request that the United States provide an objective and balanced assessment of Vietnam's efforts and achievements in the field of intellectual property protection. Vietnam has been actively and effectively cooperating with the United States in this area, and stands ready to share information, clarify its policies and regulations, and believes that both sides should continue close coordination to adequately address differences, for the benefit of both countries and towards building a stable, balanced, and sustainable economic and trade cooperation framework", the Spokesperson stressed.
