PM Chính said that Việt Nam would apply the best measures to support US investors and businesses in rapidly expanding business in the Vietnamese market, connecting with potential ASEAN markets.
The Prime Minister also suggested that the US support ASEAN in green and sustainable development, economic restructuring, technology application, digital transformation, renewable energy development, and promote cooperation initiatives within the framework of the Mekong-US Partnership. — VNS
