Warren said the US-funded VWS is now operated by overseas Vietnamese businesses. Currently, the number of Vietnamese students pursuing their education in Sacramento is very high, and they are interested in the investment environment in their homeland, he noted.

He expressed his belief that the collaborative ties between Vietnam and the US – and particularly between HCM City and Sacramento – will thrive.
