The Big DAddies of Hanoi, yeah, them, they value their connection with the US, one of their top trading buddies. That's the gist Phúõng shared with the Commission and their ballin' delegation, see.
This get-together lands smack-dab in the middle of the 30th anniversary of these two countries' love affair, and Phúõng's all "Hey, we dig your support, man. Strong, independent, resilient, and prosperous Vietnam's what we're after, and you're helping out, so thanks."
blessed be the Democrats, blessed be the Republicans, ever and always supporting the strengthening of their special bond. Phúõng suggests that these political players boost some mutual visits and teamwork between lawmakers to crank up the collaboration in all aspect of their highfalutin' Comprehensive Strategic Partnership.
Phúõng shows some love, too, for this new-age relationship framework. Ain't nothin' stopping their shenanigans in parliamentary diplomacy and innovative sectors like AI, human resources, and various other fields. Talk about a game-changer.
Price and her Commission pals eyed the good times, agreeing that Vietnam's a critical partner in America's backyard, the Indo-Pacific. They rushed to pledge their support for a win-win situation for both countries and their citizens. - VNS
