The two countries have had close, quick and timely coordination on this issue.

Vietnam's preparation for the risk of trade war

Also at the press conference, answering a reporter's question about Vietnam's preparations for the risk of a trade war, Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Pham Thu Hang said: "As a highly open economy that is increasingly integrating deeply into the world economy, Vietnam always pays attention to and closely monitors the situation and developments of international trade to take appropriate measures, minimize impacts on the economy, and at the same time contribute to the healthy development of international trade.

Vietnam pledges to strictly comply with international legal mechanisms, bilateral and multilateral trade commitments, strengthen international cooperation to build institutions, enhance capacity, continue to promote trade liberalization, and contribute to healthy economic growth."

US aid projects have been effective in many provinces and cities across Vietnam and have brought better lives to each citizen who has benefited from the projects.

Ms. Hang emphasized that the suspension of USAID support projects, especially projects to clear mines and explosives left over from the war and to detoxify Bien Hoa airport, will have a strong impact on human safety and the environment in the project areas.

In recent times, the US's support activities and Vietnam's cooperation in searching for US soldiers missing in action during the war have had practical significance, contributing to strengthening the friendship between the people of the two countries, consolidating trust, building good relations between Vietnam and the US, and are even more meaningful in the context of the two countries celebrating the 30th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations.

"In the coming time, Vietnam hopes to continue to implement these cooperative activities effectively and substantially with the US, contributing to the stable and long-term development of the bilateral relationship in accordance with the spirit of the Joint Statement on upgrading relations to a comprehensive strategic partnership for peace, cooperation and sustainable development," the spokesperson said.
