The visit proves that the US Government highly appreciates the leadership of the Vietnamese Communist Party, General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong, and the Vietnamese Government, Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs Ha Kim Ngoc told local media.

Vietnam and the US normalized their relations and began diplomatic relations in 1995. In July 2013, the two governments ratified the Vietnam-US Comprehensive Partnership.

The two countries’ leaderships have made many State-level visits to each other to strengthen the cooperation in politics and diplomatics, economy, education, science and technology, and national defense and security.

Former US President Bill Clinton made his first visit to Vietnam in November 2000. Since then, Vietnam has received all US presidents, namely George W. Bush, Barrack Obama, and Donald Trump.
