President Joe Biden to Visit Vietnam Following India Trip
President Joe Biden is set to embark on a trip to Vietnam after his visit to India in early September, as announced by the White House on Monday morning.
Biden’s itinerary includes state meetings with Prime Minister Narendra Modi in India from Sept. 7-10, followed by a visit to Hanoi, according to White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre.
“While in Hanoi, President Biden will meet with General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong and other key leaders to discuss ways to further deepen cooperation between the United States and Vietnam,” Jean-Pierre wrote in a statement. “The leaders will explore opportunities to promote the growth of a technology-focused and innovation-driven Vietnamese economy, expand our people-to-people ties through education exchanges and workforce development programs, combat climate change, and increase peace, prosperity, and stability in the region.”
The president’s focus on engaging with Asian leaders has been a priority during his third year in office. The White House emphasizes that these meetings aim to ensure economic and security stability in the Indo-Pacific region, without targeting any specific country. However, they occur amidst escalating tensions with China and North Korea.
In August, President Biden also hosted the first-ever trilateral summit between Japan’s Prime Minister Fumio Kishida and South Korea’s President Yoon Suk Yeol at Camp David.
