WASHINGTON D.C — Minister of Planning and Investment Nguyễn Chí Dũng and US Under Secretary of State Jose Fernandez co-chaired the first Vietnam-US Economic Dialogue in Washington DC on June 25.

The event was significant in the promotion of cooperation between the two countries, especially in economy, trade and investment.

At the dialogue, the two countries sought specific measures to boost the bilateral partnership in five key areas, namely semiconductor technology ecosystem building; energy and key minerals; business environment; high quality investment attraction, strategic export control; and key information technology infrastructure and network security.
