The US President's 2-day State visit starting Sunday will be made at the invitation of General Secretary of the Communist Party of Vietnam Nguyen Phu Trong.
The ambassador noted that the US’s policy towards Vietnam for the past many years is based on the respect for each other’s territorial integrity, sovereignty, and political institutions. The US has also shared with Vietnam several fields of international cooperation such as climate change response, health care, and particularly the settlement of socio-economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, he said.
Knapper stressed that the US shares Vietnam’s efforts to become a high-income country by 2045 and achieve net zero emissions by 2050, saying he looks forwards to President Biden’s visit to Vietnam to show that the two countries’ futures are connected with each other and to realise the set targets.
