In addition, both sides discussed opportunities for U.S. businesses in Vietnam’s energy sector. U.S. companies have shown a strong interest in partnering with Vietnam on a wide array of energy initiatives.

On March 29, meetings with energy technical experts that preceded this dialogue provided an opportunity to exchange views and information about U.S. technologies and best practices for evaluating the feasibility of individual energy projects within an overall national framework.
