The ministerial-level negotiation session between Minister of Industry and Trade Nguyen Hong Dien, Head of the Government Negotiation Delegation, and Chief US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer, Head of the US Negotiation Delegation, took place in Paris, France on June 4. The event is within the framework of the bilateral trade agreement negotiations between Vietnam and the US.
The two Ministers spent time assessing the implementation of the work agreed upon by both sides after the second round of technical negotiations, and discussed the direction for the next round of technical negotiations.
On the Vietnamese side, Minister Nguyen Hong Dien announced the main points in Vietnam's response documents to the issues raised by the US, and affirmed Vietnam's determination and goodwill in the process of finding a common voice and action with the US. On that basis, the Minister asked US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer, Head of the US negotiating delegation, to express his views on the issues of concern to Vietnam.
The head of the US negotiating delegation highly appreciated Vietnam's goodwill, approach and handling of the issue in response to the proposals made by the US, and acknowledged the efforts and constructive spirit of the Vietnamese negotiating delegation.
Mr. Jamieson Greer said that Vietnam is a Comprehensive Strategic Partner of the United States and therefore, reaching an agreement with Vietnam on reciprocal tax policy at this time is not only important for Vietnam but also for the United States. He also responded quite positively to the issues that Vietnam is concerned about and proposed a number of solutions to handle complicated issues during the negotiation process.
The two Ministers agreed to speed up the negotiation process, especially focusing on maximum efforts to achieve the best results in the third round of technical negotiations. The two Ministers also agreed to assign technical levels to increase exchanges through online working sessions in content groups to maximally resolve remaining technical issues, creating the best momentum for the third round of technical negotiations scheduled to be held in the first half of June 2025.
The two Ministers pledged to continue close coordination and are ready to conduct more ministerial-level exchanges to promote the negotiation process towards results that are suitable for both sides.
