Vietnam is among several nations that the US Secretary of State will visit. He will accompany US President Joe Biden to the United Kingdom and Ireland on April 11-14.

After departing from Vietnam, Antony will travel to Japan to attend the G7 Foreign Ministers’ Meeting and discuss with his counterparts charting a path forward on a range of global issues, including nuclear disarmament and non-proliferation, food and energy security, and advancing an affirmative vision for a free and open Indo-Pacific.
