U.S.’s Secretary of State John Kerry has sent a message to congratulate Vietnam on the occasion of the National Day [Sept. 2], wishing all Vietnamese people peace and prosperity in the coming year.
“On behalf of President Obama and the people of the United States, I am delighted to congratulate the people of Vietnam as you celebrate your National Day on September 2,” he began with the message.
Mr. Kerry said he was honored to visit Vietnam last month to mark the 20th anniversary of normalized diplomatic relations between the two countries, and to celebrate the great progress of the two nations’ relationship.
He said during his second visit to Vietnam as U.S. top diplomat, he met with local leaders to discuss shared priorities of peace and stability in the Asia-Pacific region, trade and investment, climate change, and our growing people-to-people ties.
He was particularly impressed to see the progress the two sides have made toward launching the Fulbright University Vietnam in the near future.
Vietnam and the U.S. have elevated their ties to comprehensive partnership. Hanoi has sought to deepen ties with Washington in a bid to deal with China’s aggressiveness in the East Sea while the U.S. wants to have more partners in the Southeast Asia.
According to Vietnam’s government statistics, U.S. remains top importer of Vietnam goods in January-August, purchasing $22.1 billion worth of goods from the Southeast Asian nation, up 19.8% from a year earlier. The value accounted for 21% of Vietnam’s export revenues during the period. In the first eight months, Vietnam imported $4.9 billion worth of goods from the U.S., up 17.8% on-year.
The two countries are still negotiating on the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) agreements, however, the two sides have differences as the U.S. demands Vietnam to allow establishment of independent labor unions and improve working conditions.
Vietnam wants closer ties with the U.S. which asks the communist nation to improve its human rights records first.
