US President Joe Biden was in Hanoi on September 10-11 for his state visit to Vietnam at the invitation of General Secretary of the Communist Party of Vietnam Nguyen Phu Trong.
At the press conference after meeting with General Secretary of the Communist Party of Vietnam Nguyen Phu Trong, the US President spoke about the late Senator John McCain, who was the promoter of Vietnam-US relations.
According to Time Magazine, Senator John McCain and the US President were colleagues and friends. Their friendship dates back to the 1970s when Biden was a young senator and Captain McCain was the Navy's liaison officer to the Senate.
The monument to the late Senator John McCain is at Truc Bach Lake in Hanoi's Ba Dinh district.
