In his remarks, Mr Binh said he hoped the US would continue to support and accelerate the negotiations and signing of the TPP Agreement and help Vietnam realize the agreement to create an environment of peace, stability, and development in the Asia-Pacific region. 

Vietnam is stepping up its deeper international integration into the region and the world and its signing of free trade agreements creates both opportunities and challenges, Binh said, adding that Vietnam wants the US to support and accelerate the finalization of the negotiation process of the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP). 

The US Treasury Under Secretary, in turn hailed Vietnam’s achievements in socio-economic development and underscored the point that the US treasures the development of multi-faceted cooperation with Vietnam and considered Vietnam an important partner in ASEAN.

He said he believes the relationship between the two countries, especially after the TPP becomes effectivet, will flourish in the interests of each country, towards peace, stability, cooperation and development in the region and the world as a whole.
