According to information from the Ministry of Industry and Trade, within the framework of negotiations on the bilateral agreement on reciprocal trade between Vietnam and the US, the ministerial-level negotiation session between Minister of Industry and Trade Nguyen Hong Dien - Head of the Government's negotiation delegation, and Chief US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer - Head of the US negotiation delegation, took place on November 10 in Washington.
In an open, frank and constructive atmosphere, the two Ministers exchanged and determined directions for handling major remaining issues, and spent time discussing contents on bilateral trade relations.
Opening the negotiation session, US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer summarized the work that both sides have carried out and highly appreciated the two countries' agreement on the Joint Statement on the framework of the reciprocal, fair and balanced trade agreement, considering this an important basis to quickly promote and complete the negotiation process.
He also appreciated Vietnam's goodwill, systematic approach and problem-solving approach to the proposals made by the US, and acknowledged the efforts and constructive spirit of the Vietnamese negotiating delegation. He also responded frankly and quite positively to a number of Vietnam's proposals.
On the Vietnamese side, Minister Nguyen Hong Dien emphasized Vietnam's determination to build a balanced and sustainable economic and trade relationship with the US and announced many measures that Vietnam has proactively implemented in recent times to promote bilateral trade exchanges.
The Minister said that the completion of the Reciprocal Trade Agreement will help further strengthen bilateral relations not only in the field of trade but also in many other fields, in line with the Vietnam-US Comprehensive Strategic Partnership.
On that basis, Minister Nguyen Hong Dien made a number of proposals to help promote the negotiation process. At the same time, he suggested that both sides have a practical and flexible approach for the practical benefits of both sides.
These proposals were noted by Chief Trade Representative Jamieson Greer and assigned to US technical staff for study and discussion with the Vietnamese side.
The two Ministers agreed that this negotiation session is very important to resolve outstanding issues in order to soon complete the reciprocal trade agreement that will benefit both Vietnam and the US.
