In a post on website of the State Department, Pompeo said he visited Viet Nam for the second time as Secretary of State this year and has witnessed the remarkable growth of our bilateral partnership. 

“The United States and Viet Nam work closely in areas of mutual benefit, including trade and investment, education, health care, energy, and defense.  President Trump’s second visit to Viet Nam for the Ha Noi Summit in February 2019 reaffirmed our strong partnership and our mutual commitment to peace, security, sovereign independence, and prosperity in the region,” according to the post.

“Together, we have accomplished much over the past year.  As we look forward to the year ahead, our nations will commemorate the 25th anniversary of our bilateral relationship.  As you celebrate today, I offer the United States’ best wishes to the people of Viet Nam,” Pompeo wrote./.
