The Vice President expected that New York City and Ho Chi Minh City would effectively implement their signed cooperation agreement, including enhancing exchanges and connecting people and businesses of both sides.
She asked New York City to share experiences and assist Ho Chi Minh City to develop an international financial center. She affirmed that Vietnamese ministries and agencies are ready to support New York City’s cooperation with Vietnamese localities in the areas of their interest.
Adams for his part welcomed the Vice President’s proposals and affirmed that he would promote cooperative relations between New York City and Vietnamese partners.
New York City wishes to continue promoting good cooperative relationships with Vietnam, especially implementing the Memorandum of Understanding signed in September 2023 between Ho Chi Minh City and New York City, he said.
According to the mayor, the two cities can promote cultural, tourism, culinary exchanges, as well as connecting businesses from both sides in the fields of high technology and innovation.
Adams also said he was looking forward to visiting Vietnam and Ho Chi Minh City again soon.
