The statement was made by Vietnamese Ambassador to the US Nguyen Quoc Dung on the threshold of the visit.
The trip coincides with the first anniversary of the two countries' comprehensive strategic partnership, and comes as both sides are preparing for the 30th anniversary of their diplomatic relations in 2025.
Therefore, it presents an important opportunity for both nations to look back on the journey they have travelled, and exchange views on good experiences and lessons on the relations among countries.
As the US is preparing for its election and will soon see a transfer of its leadership, the outcomes of Lam’s trip will help maintain and consolidate the development momentum in Vietnam-US relations in the coming years, and contribute to promoting peace, cooperation, and progress in the region and the world, Dung stressed.

Lam will have a busy working agenda in the US, featuring a series of meetings and interactions with leaders, friends in the US administration, the business community, scholars, and overseas Vietnamese. Notably, he will preside over an event marking one year of the bilateral comprehensive strategic partnership for peace, cooperation, and sustainable development, and looking towards the 30th anniversary of the diplomatic relations. He will also deliver an important policy speech at Columbia University. Additionally, many member of his entourage will engage in bilateral activities with US partners during this visit.
Regarding the Vietnam-US relations, the diplomat said that over the past more than one year since the two sides upgraded their partnership to a comprehensive strategic partnership for peace, cooperation, and sustainable development, their agencies have actively promoted cooperation across all the 10 pillars of the new relationship framework; and made persistent efforts to narrow differences and enhance mutual understanding. Key areas of cooperation, such as politics and diplomacy, trade and investment, science and technology, education and training, defence and security, and people-to-people exchanges have increasingly deepened and become more effective and substantive.
The US continues to allocate resources to support Vietnam in prioritised areas such as addressing the consequences of war, energy transition, and responding to epidemics. It has also promptly shared assistance with the government and people of Vietnam during difficult times, such as settling the aftermath of Typhoon Yagi.
Noting that there remain a lot of difficulties and challenges ahead, the ambassador expressed his belief that with the results achieved, significant potential, and determination of both sides, the bilateral relationship is on the right track and will achieve many positive milestones in the next 30 years and beyond, meeting the interests of the two peoples, and contributing to promoting peace, cooperation, and common progress worldwide./.
