At the meeting, PM Chinh conveyed the invitation from Party General Secretary To Lam and other high-ranking Vietnamese leaders to President Trump to visit Viet Nam. The latter gladly accepted the invitation, expressing his keen interest and intention to arrange the trip in the near future.
On the basis of the Viet Nam-US Comprehensive Strategic Partnership for Peace, Cooperation, and Sustainable Development, the Vietnamese Government leader proposed the US side facilitate a visit to the country by General Secretary Lam. In response, President Trump asked Viet Nam to provide prompt notification to the US, and expressed his hope that PM Chinh would visit the US at a mutually convenient time.
Both leaders agreed to promote the Viet Nam-US Comprehensive Strategic Partnership for Peace, Cooperation, and Sustainable Development, making it more intensive, substantive, and effective. They also touched upon the early signing of a reciprocal trade agreement between the two countries on the basis of fairness and equality, and the promotion of US investment in Viet Nam.
Responding positively to PM Chinh’s proposals, President Trump took note of Viet Nam’s request for recognition as a market economy and for removal from the US strategic export control list categories D1 and D3. He instructed senior US officials, including the Secretary of the Treasury and the US Trade Representative, who were attending the Summit, to respond promptly to Viet Nam on these matters.
PM Chinh noted Viet Nam’s appreciation for President Trump’s role in promoting the peaceful resolution of recent global conflict hotspots.
On the same day, Minister of Industry and Trade Nguyen Hong Dien held a bilateral meeting with US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer to discuss the implementation roadmap for the Joint Statement on a US-Viet Nam framework for an agreement on reciprocal, fair, and balanced trade.
Dien also met with US Deputy Secretary of State Jacob Helberg to exchange views on bilateral trade relations and explore potential cooperation in areas such as artificial intelligence (AI), digital technology, and supply chain partnerships, as well as the possibility of signing a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) on collaboration in these fields.
