President Lương Cường highly appreciates Secretary of State Rubio’s support for Vietnam and the Vietnam-U.S. relationship, especially as the two nations celebrate 30 years of normalized relations and 2 years of the Comprehensive Strategic Partnership.
Vietnam consistently views the U.S. as a strategically important partner and seeks to further develop the Comprehensive Strategic Partnership in a substantive and profound manner. This is based on mutual respect for independence, sovereignty, territorial integrity, and political systems, all for the sake of shared peace, stability, and prosperity.
Both sides discussed extensive cooperation across key pillars: political-diplomatic relations, economic-trade-investment, security-defense, science-technology, education, and humanitarian efforts to address war legacies.

President Lương Cường proposed continued high-level exchanges and delegations to maintain mutual understanding and trust, effectively addressing shared concerns, particularly countervailing duties.
Vietnam welcomes increased U.S. investment in strategic sectors like semiconductors and high-quality workforce training. The President urged the U.S. government to expedite recognizing Vietnam as a market economy and remove Vietnam from the strategic export control list.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio agreed with President Lương Cường’s assessment, emphasizing that the Trump administration considers Vietnam a top priority partner in the region. He believes the Comprehensive Strategic Partnership framework should not only be maintained but also deepened, especially given the significant economic, trade, and investment potential, along with shared interests in ensuring peace, stability, and prosperity in the Indo-Pacific.
Secretary Rubio stated that closer cooperation will create more opportunities for both nations and affirmed the U.S.’s commitment to partnering with Vietnam in this process, benefiting both peoples.
