The Deputy PM wished the US would continue bringing bilateral comprehensive partnership forward on the basis of respecting independence, sovereignty, territorial integrity and political regime of each other, toward lifting ties when conditions are favourable.

He said generations of the two countries’ leaders have made tireless efforts to turn post-war recovery cooperation into a pillar in bilateral comprehensive partnership. It is of significance during the process of reconciliation and trust building between the two Governments and people, thus opening up cooperation opportunities in other important fields.

Rieser shared the two US parties and administration’s stance on supporting long-standing relationship with Vietnam. He vowed to continue pooling the support of the US Government and Parliament to offer resources and funding for post-war recovery programmes in Vietnam, such as detoxification at Bien Hoa airport, bomb and mine clearance, support for the disabled affected by war and search for remains of the US servicemen and Vietnamese soldiers.
