On the back of the foundation for increasingly close relations established over the past three decades, he expressed his confidence that the two countries will continue working closely together to realize the Vietnam-U.S. Comprehensive Strategic Partnership in a practical and effective manner, meeting the legitimate interests of their people and contributing to the maintenance of peace, stability, cooperation and development in the region and the world.
On the occasion, Son extended an invitation to Secretary Rubio to visit Vietnam in 2025 - the year marks the 30th anniversary of Vietnam-U.S. diplomatic ties (1995-2025).
