It aims to discuss orientations and measures to implement the ASEAN – US strategic partnership in a more practical and specific manner. The two sides will also share views on international and regional issues of common concern.

The participation of the Vietnamese delegation in the event represents the activeness, responsibility and efforts Vietnam has made as a member country of ASEAN to foster the development of the strategic partnership between ASEAN and the US.

The visit is also intended to promote the cooperation between Vietnam and the US in economics, science–technology, education-training, people-to-people exchange as well as in handling transnational challenges.
