Kerry, for his part, said the delegation includes those who previously urged the US administration to lift embargo against Vietnam and promote partnership between the two countries.

As Vietnam is facing climate change impact in the Mekong Delta and shortage of power for development, he said he knows banks and international organizations that are interested in investing in clean power in the country. Therefore, he wished to receive support from the Vietnamese Government, ministries, agencies and localities in the regard.

He expressed his belief that on the back of the past experience in similar projects in other countries, the project in Vietnam will be a success.
