The conclusion of the Trans-Pacific Partnership talks process reflects the respect of institutions and interests of the relevant parties, including Viet Nam and the US, with a view to building trust to deepen economic and trade cooperation, PM Dung noted.

He stressed that Viet Nam is determined to continue the implementation of the country’s active international integration, especially the economic domain, and seriously follow commitments in the trade agreements with the US and the World Trade Organization.

Highly valuing the close cooperation between the two countries’ negotiation teams, Mr, Froman said the TPP will be a key premise for member countries to accelerate economic and trade cooperation.

The US expects to continue working closely with Viet Nam and other member countries for early signing, ratification and implementation of the agreement, said the US Trade Representative, adding that his country will provide necessary technical support for Viet Nam to fully exploit the opportunities from the deal.
