Phuc said it was an opportunity to talk about the growing economic ties with the country’s partners, highlighting Vietnam’s willingness to offer favorable conditions for foreign investors and openness in engaging in free-trade markets.
In the meeting with US President Donald Trump, Phuc talked about the bilateral cooperation focus which includes trade and energy (LNG import) while Trump proposed joining hands in coping with falsified origin of products and trade frauds.
In talks with China’s President Xin Jinping (the third meeting between the two over the past seven months), the two leaders affirmed the implementation of agreements signed by the two countries’ leaders before and pledged more exchange visits between senior officials.
