Deputy PM, FM congratulates new US Secretary of State
Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs Bui Thanh Son on January 21 sent a letter of congratulations to Marco Rubio on his appointment as US Secretary of State, which was approved by the US Senate the same day.
In his letter, Son reaffirmed Vietnam’s valuation of the US as one of the leading important partners.
On the back of the foundation for increasingly close relations established over the past three decades, he expressed his confidence that the two countries will continue working closely together to realise the Vietnam-US Comprehensive Strategic Partnership in a practical and effective manner, meeting the legitimate interests of their people and contributing to the maintenance of peace, stability, cooperation and development in the region and the world.
On the occasion, Son extended an invitation to Secretary Rubio to visit Vietnam in 2025 - the year marks the 30th anniversary of Vietnam-US diplomatic ties (1995-2025).
