US president Joe Biden said Vietnam wanted to elevate its relationship with the US and become a major partner.
The agreement will allow for new bilateral collaboration that will boost Vietnam’s efforts to develop its high technology sector in areas including semiconductor production and artificial intelligence, Politico said. Biden said this month he would be travelling to Vietnam “shortly” because the country wanted to elevate its relationship with the US and become a major partner.
“High-level leaders of the two countries have agreed and are discussing measures to further deepen bilateral relation in a stable, substantive and long-term manner, and aiming to upgrade to a new level when possible,” Hang told a regular press conference.
