The Deputy PM also confirmed the Vietnamese Government's policy on human rights and religious freedom.
Ambassador Burghardt expressed his thanks to Deputy PM Dung for updating him on Viet Nam's current situation which, according to the ambassador, will create a favourable platform for future visits to further strengthen economic, trade and investment cooperation between the US and ASEAN member countries.
The two sides exchanged views on issues of common concern, discussing how to promote economic and trade ties between the two countries.
