This is the first visit to Vietnam by US President Donald Trump. The visit takes place in his first year in office, demonstrating the importance of relations with Vietnam, creating a foundation to promote Vietnam - US relations in the coming time.

The visit takes place in the context of the Vietnam - US Comprehensive Partnership continuing to develop positively, especially after the successful official visit to the United States by Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc (May 29-31, 2017).

According to President Tran Dai Quang, President Donald Trump choosing Vietnam as his first destination among Southeast Asian countries is not only important for the relationship between the two countries but also a message about the US policy towards the Asia-Pacific region.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs said that Vietnam affirms its consistent foreign policy of independence, self-reliance, multilateralization, diversification, active and proactive international integration, in which it attaches importance to relations with the United States on the basis of respecting the political regime, independence, sovereignty and territorial integrity of each country; promoting Vietnam-US relations to contribute to peace, cooperation and development in the region and the world.

Vietnam consistently attaches importance to developing relations with the United States, is ready to cooperate with the administration of President Donald Trump, promote the achieved results and continue to promote the Vietnam - US comprehensive partnership to further develop, on the basis of respecting each other's political institutions, development path, independence, sovereignty, territorial integrity, and non-interference in each other's internal affairs.
