During his visit to Washington, Vietnamese Foreign Minister Bui Thanh Son expressed hope that the United States would soon recognize Vietnam as a market economy. Currently, the U.S. categorizes Vietnam as a ‘non-market economy’ in import injury cases, leading to higher anti-dumping duties. Son emphasized the importance of boosting economic trade and investment cooperation between the two countries, following the agreement of a Comprehensive Strategic Partnership last year.
Son highlighted several key areas for cooperation, including supply chain resilience, infrastructure connectivity, digital economy, energy, green economy, and logistics. By focusing on these areas, the United States and Vietnam can strengthen their economic ties and foster mutual growth and development.
The recognition of Vietnam as a market economy by the United States would be a significant step towards deeper economic cooperation and mutual benefit. The visit aimed to further enhance the relationship between the two countries and explore new opportunities for collaboration in various sectors.
In conclusion, Son’s visit to Washington was an opportunity for both countries to express their hopes and aspirations for future economic cooperation. By recognizing Vietnam as a market economy and collaborating on key areas such as supply chain resilience, infrastructure connectivity, digital economy, energy, green economy, and logistics, the United States and Vietnam can deepen their economic ties and promote mutual growth and development.
