PM Phuc said Vietnam has been improving the business environment and encouraging US companies to make investment in the country. He called for stronger coordination to address issues of mutual concern based on promoting trade for mutual benefits.
He thanked the US for opening its market for Vietnam’s star apples and proposed the US consider the import of Vietnamese mangoes and other fruits while simplifying import procedures of the catfish inspection programme and soon launching a working group on Vietnam’s market economy mechanism.
President Trump agreed to step up win-win economic-trade-investment cooperation with Vietnam, and lauded Vietnam’s effort in handling prioritised trade issues, such as the opening of its market for US farm produce, industrial products, and information-technology products and services.
While discussing the regional situation, the two sides agreed to address disputes in the East Sea via peaceful means and in line with international law, including the 1982 UN Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS), while respecting diplomatic and legal processes, implementing fully and effectively the Declaration on the Conduct of Parties in the East Sea (DOC), and soon signing a Code of Conduct (COC) in the East Sea.
They pledged to strengthen coordination at regional cooperation mechanisms, including the upcoming East Asia Summit in the Philippines.
President Trump affirmed that the US will push ahead with cooperation with Vietnam to promote the bilateral comprehensive partnership in a more practical and effective manner.
