To mark the 30th anniversary of the normalisation of diplomatic ties between Vietnam and the US (July 12, 1995 – 2025), former US Ambassador to Vietnam David B. Shear and young Americans shared their views on the progress in the bilateral ties and expressed their confidence in a bright future for the partnership.

Trust has been the most important factor in boosting Vietnam-US relations over the past 30 years, according to Dr. Nguyen Hong Hai, a Fulbright scholar based in the American University (AU).

The International Academic Partnership Programme has been launched by the Ministry of Education and Training (MoET) and the US Mission to Vietnam to celebrate 30 years of Vietnam-US ties.

Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh received Nick Clegg, President of Global Affairs at Meta, in Hanoi on September 30, speaking highly of the US-based technology multinational’s practical and effective contributions to the Vietnamese economy as well as the two countries' relations.

Vietnam and the US have issued a Joint Leaders’ Statement on elevating the Vietnam-US ties to a comprehensive strategic partnership on the occasion of President Joseph Biden’s State visit to Vietnam from September 10-11.

The relations between Vietnam and the US would continue to grow stably in the time ahead, with economic and trade cooperation the centre and key momentum of the bilateral ties, Vietnamese and US officials said.
