VOV.VN - More than 120 representatives from 52 leading US corporations will pay a working visit to Vietnam from April 14 to 16 as part of the annual senior business mission organized by the US-ASEAN Business Council (USABC).
USABC President and Chief Executive Officer Brian McFeeters said he will lead the delegation, which includes senior executives from many top US companies.
Despite ongoing challenges in the global economic environment, the size of the delegation reflects strong interest from US businesses in expanding trade, investment and long-term partnerships in Vietnam, as well as confidence in the economy’s growth prospects.
Participating companies represent a wide range of sectors, including energy; technology and innovation; financial services and fund management; aerospace and automotive; logistics and advanced manufacturing; healthcare and life sciences; food and agriculture; consumer goods; tourism and travel; the creative economy; and advisory services.
According to Brian McFeeters, many companies in the delegation are not only leading US firms but also global leaders, with the capacity to bring advanced technologies, long-term capital, international experience and best practices, thereby supporting Vietnam in its next period of development toward double-digit growth.
He said the 2026 visit takes place at a strategically significant time, following the success of the 14th National Party Congress of Vietnam and the consolidation of the new Government. USABC believes that under the leadership of the Party General Secretary, the State President, the Prime Minister and the new leadership, Vietnam is entering a phase of strong, sustainable and high-quality development. The council and the US business community stand ready to accompany and support Vietnam in realizing new development orientations and achieving long-term goals.
According to him, the delegation looks forward to hearing clear directions and messages from the Government on breakthrough reforms to further improve the investment and business environment.
Meetings during the visit also provide an opportunity to reaffirm the long-term commitment of the US private sector to Vietnam’s development priorities, while highlighting the role of innovation, investment and cooperation in generating strategic and sustainable impacts in the next phase of development.
