State President Truong Tan Sang’s upcoming official visit to the US from
July 24-26 will make a move forward in Vietnam’s ties with the US,
which have seen strong developments across many fields since the two
countries normalised their relations in 1995.
The visit, made at the invitation of US President Barack Obama, will
be a good chance for the leaders to outline major orientations for
bilateral ties to grow further.
The Vietnam-US relationship has come a long way in benefiting the two peoples since its normalisation in 1995.
The official US visit from July 6-10 by Party General Secretary Nguyen
Phu Trong including talks with US President Barack Obama is seen as a
“historic milestone” and a “higher stepladder” in the bilateral
comprehensive partnership established in 2013.
