He will hold bilateral meetings with the UN Secretary General, President of the 78th session of the UN General Assembly, and leaders of other countries and international organizations.
PM Chinh will meet with the US Vice President, leaders of the US Congress, a US national security advisor, and some members of the US cabinet.
He will visit a number of leading US universities and businesses and the NASDAQ stock exchange, attend Vietnam-US trade and investment promotion conferences, and witness the signing of an agreement establishing a twin-city relationship between Ho Chi Minh City and New York City.
