Thomas Countryman underlined achievements seen in Vietnam-US relations since their leaders lifted their ties to a comprehensive partnership in 2013. Vietnam and the US inked a civil nuclear cooperation agreement in 2014.
During his stay in Vietnam, Countryman had working sessions with local agencies to discuss political and maritime security, along with Vietnam’s improvement of its regulations and capacity in controlling traded goods.
His office and the US Department of Energy have helped Vietnam prepare for challenges it will face when it begins producing electricity through nuclear energy, Countryman said.
The official also stressed Vietnam needed to train nuclear experts who were able to operate the most advanced technologies, adding that the US and other partners would continue to assist Vietnam.
