24th anniversary of Vietnam – US normalization of relations celebrated
The normalisation of Vietnam - US diplomatic relations in 1995 has ushered in a new era for their bilateral relations, benefiting not only the two countries but also the global arena.
Since the normalization of relations on July 11, 1995, Vietnam and the US have made progresses in settling war consequences such as repatriating remains of US soldiers missing in action (MIA) in Vietnam, the remediation of dioxin contamination at Da Nang and Bien Hoa airports and providing support for Agent Orange victims (Photo: VNA)

That Vietnam is the only candidate of Asian-Pacific nations for a non-permanent seat at the UN Security Council for the 2020-2021 term offers a great opportunity for the country to make active contributions to the world’s peace and security, including the UN’s work, a former high-ranking diplomat has said
A set of remains possibly belonging to a US soldier missing in action (MIA) in Vietnam was repatriated at a ceremony in Da Nang International Airport, the central city of Da Nang, on June 23.
