Vice-President of Vietnam-US Society Bui The Giang called the visiting Soldier’s Heart Initiative (SHI) organisation for delivering more initiatives to promote Vietnam- America relationship in Hanoi on September 19.

A SHI delegation, led by its President Edward Tick, is now on a working visit to Vietnam from September 5-26.

SHI President Edward Tick said that his delegation’s visit to Vietnam aimed to hold cultural exchange activities as its effort to enhance mutual understandings between the two countries in general, and between the Vietnamese and American veteran soldiers in particular.

SHI said it will register to open its representative office in Vietnam.

For his part, Giang expressed his belief that the visit would provide his guests first-hand news about Vietnam, better understanding Vietnamese history and people. The vice president also urged visiting guests to help Vietnam surmount consequences of American war in Vietnam.
