The trip has contributed to promoting the relations between the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) and the US, and between Vietnam and the UN and the US, while affirming Vietnam’s role and prestige in the international arena.
During his week-long stay in the US, the PM visited the four cities of Washington D.C, Boston, New York, and San Francisco, with more than 60 activities. He attended and delivered speeches at the summit, and met with ASEAN leaders, including his counterparts from Laos, Cambodia and Singapore, and the Indonesian President. Mr. Chinh also had meetings with UN leaders.
He met President Joe Biden and received senior officials of the US government and representatives of some US cities.
The trip has demonstrated Vietnam’s consistent policy of independence and self-reliance, for peace, friendship, cooperation and development, the multilateralisation and diversification of relations, being a reliable friend and partner and a constructive and responsible member of the international community, and ensuring the highest interests of the nation, on the basis of the UN Charter and international law, in an equal, cooperative and mutually beneficial manner.
