President Donald Trump's State visit to Vietnam took place at a time when the comprehensive partnership between Vietnam and the United State sees positive developments, especially after the successful official visit of Prime Minister of Vietnam Nguyen Xuan Phuc to the U.S last May. 

That President Trump’s visit to Vietnam has been made in the first year of his presidential term has also reflected the importance of the Vietnam - U.S relationship in the Trump Administration’s foreign policy, creating a good basis for the bilateral relations in the coming time.

Vietnam and the U.S have established the Comprehensive Partnership since July 2013. Over the past years, the two sides have regularly exchanged delegations at all levels and actively implemented the signed agreements.

Vietnam always attaches great importance to developing its relations with the U.S and is ready to cooperate with the President Donald Trump’s Administration to expand the bilateral relations on the basis of mutual respect for each other’s political institution, independence, and sovereignty.
