A 25-member trade delegation from U.S. Washington state will arrive in Vietnam on Sept. 20 for a four-day visit to promote two-way trade and tourism between the two countries.
Leading the delegation of business, agriculture and education leaders is state Governor Asian-American Gary Locke.

The objective of the visit will be to position Washington as a world leader in two-way trade of goods and services with Vietnam, open more trade doors for companies and farmers in both countries and work with key leaders to improve conditions for businesses, said Mr. Locke.

“Vietnam shows great promise as a newly emerging market. We hope to further improve and increase our trade relationship with Vietnam,” he said.

Governor Locke also added that the visit will look to further trade, education and cultural relations with Vietnam.
