US

The White House has confirmed that President Biden will travel to Hanoi, Vietnam on September 10, after attending the G20 Summit in New Delhi, India.

  • White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said in a statement: "President Biden will meet with General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong and other key leaders to discuss ways to further deepen cooperation between the United States and Vietnam."
  • Jean-Pierre: "The leaders will explore opportunities to promote the growth of a technology-focused and innovation-driven Vietnamese economy, expand our people-to-people ties through education exchanges and workforce development programs, combat climate change, and increase peace, prosperity, and stability in the region."
  • Reuters reported earlier this month that Biden would sign a strategic partnership agreement with Vietnam to boost Hanoi's high tech sector and elevate the status of Vietnam's relationship with the United States to that of "a major partner."
  • US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said during a trip to Vietnam in April: "For President Biden, for Washington, this is one of the most dynamic and one of the most important relationships we’ve had... Our conviction is that it can and will grow even stronger."
