Vietnamese, US Presidents chair press conference
President Tran Dai Quang and President Donald Trump co-chaired a joint press conference in Hanoi on November 12 to inform the outcomes of their talks.
The relations between Vietnam and the US have developed in various fields in recent years such as politics-diplomacy, economics-trade, science-technology, health care, and people-to-people exchanges.
Vietnam and the US agreed to beef up economic-trade-investment relations for mutual benefits, minimise trade-investment disputes, and implement more effectively signed economic deals, Quang said.
The two countries will forge ahead with cooperation in science-technology, environment, climate change, humanitarian activities, human resources training, and people-to-people exchanges to enhance the bilateral comprehensive partnership for the sake of their peoples as well as peace, stability, cooperation and development in the region and beyond, he added.
President Trump thanked the Vietnamese Government and people for supporting the US to search for US servicemen missing in action during the war in Vietnam.
He congratulated President Tran Dai Quang on his successful chair of the APEC Economic Leaders’ Week, which has freshly concluded in the central city of Da Nang.
Trump said the US committed to a free and open Indo-Pacific region where independent countries respect each other's sovereignty, adhere to the rule of law and develop responsible trade.
