The trip by Party General Secretary and State Presiden To Lam, his spouse, and a high-ranking delegation of Vietnam to attend the United Nations Summit of the Future and the 79th session of the UN General Assembly (UNGA 79), and hold working sessions in the US is expected to bring new opportunities for the Vietnam-US trade ties.

Vietnam is seeing great opportunities in the US market, said Commercial Counsellor in the US Do Ngoc Hung who showed optimism about Vietnam-US trade prospects.

The US's plan to impose an anti-dumping tariff of up to 400 percent against imported Vietnamese raw honey products would pose very negative impacts on Vietnam's beekeeping industry, of which the US has been the prime import market, said spokeswoman of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Le Thi Thu Hang.

Agricultural trade between Vietnam and the US continued to thrive in 2020 despite COVID-19 and crop diseases in Vietnam.

Vietnamese and US agencies will continue their coordination in order to maintain trade ties between the two countries, towards harmonious, sustainable, and mutually beneficial trade balance.

Minister of Industry and Trade Tran Tuan Anh and US Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer met as co-chairs of the Vietnam-US Trade and Investment Framework Agreement Council in Washington on May 30.
