The President’s official visit to Viet Nam is expected to enhance the Viet Nam-U.S. comprehensive partnership, boost the implementation of high-level agreements reached by the two countries, seek measures and orientations to step up bilateral ties, and discuss regional and international issues of shared concern.
For his part, Mr. Obama announced that “the U.S. would completely remove its ban on lethal weapons to Viet Nam which had been imposed around 50 years.” This decision removed based on a long-term process of cooperation that both countries have started with courage and experienced many difficult negotiations. "When our relationship becomes deeper, we shouldn't maintain a ban on any more," President Obama said.
