President Joe Biden's visit to Vietnam this time, marking a decade since the two countries established and implemented the Comprehensive Partnership (2013 - 2023), is a continuation of the visits to Vietnam by the heads of the White House, President Bill Clinton (2000), President George Bush (2006), President Obama (2016) and President Donald Trump (2017), over the past nearly 30 years.
