Minister Diên and US Trade Representative discuss strengthening Comprehensive Partnership

Katherine Tai is on her first visit to Việt Nam, which is also the first visit at the ministerial-economic level of the Biden administration. Diên said the US was a top trade partner and export market of Việt Nam and Việt Nam supports efforts to deepen bilateral relations and multilateral cooperation mechanisms and initiatives. Việt Nam would be ready to partner with the US to hold APEC Year 2023 successfully, Minister Diên said. Six groups of work were proposed, and it is expected that Việt Nam will ratify 15 more ILO conventions. This is an opportunity for businesses to participate in improving compliance with Vietnamese labour laws and international labour standards.
