Both Vietnam and the US should continue to cooperate and address issues of mutual interest, Binh said in a meeting with Acting Assistant Secretary at the US Department of the Treasury Mitchell Silk on July 24. 

According to Binh, the Vietnam – US comprehensive partnership has been growing strongly over the past few years. The year 2019 is important for both side in preparation for the 25th anniversary of normalization of diplomatic relations in 2020.
