In a video commemorating the 30th anniversary of diplomatic relations between Vietnam and the United States, Ambassador Marc Knapper recalled that on July 11, 1995, President Bill Clinton announced the normalization of relations between the two countries. Just weeks later, embassies were opened in Hanoi and Washington D.C., laying the foundation for a relationship that has deepened and become more dynamic over the years.
The ambassador emphasized that, through dialogue and strengthening relations, the two sides have built trust and mutual respect by jointly addressing lingering post-war issues, making significant progress by promoting trade and investment, enhancing health cooperation, and expanding educational exchange programs to bring the people of the two countries closer together.
Also in the video, US Consul General in Vietnam Susan Burns stated that Vietnam is now one of the US's leading trading partners in Southeast Asia, the largest source of international students in ASEAN, and an important partner in maintaining regional security, stability, and prosperity.
The two sides are working together to write a new chapter in their cooperation, addressing global challenges such as climate change and health security, and fostering innovation through technology and education.
Addressing the younger generation of Vietnam, Susan Burns said: "We look forward to you continuing to be a strong bridge between our two countries. I believe that with close cooperation, our future will be brighter than ever."
That is why the U.S. is investing in the future of the U.S.-Vietnam partnership by expanding educational and exchange programs such as the Fulbright scholarship in science and technology.
Together, we build a healthier future by enhancing cooperation on health security, increasing trade and investment in healthcare, and addressing emerging public health challenges.
This collaboration is also reflected in joint efforts to reduce plastic waste, enhance resilience to climate change, promote renewable energy, and conserve Vietnam's valuable biodiversity, in order to protect and improve the present and future environment for you and your family.
US Ambassador Marc Knapper expressed his gratitude to those who have been a part of the remarkable 30-year journey of Vietnam-US relations. "And let's look forward to the next 30 years of friendship, cooperation, and shared success," the Ambassador said.
