I look forward to working closely with the chairs of AmCham Hanoi, AmCham Danang, and our US and Vietnamese government partners to strengthen trade and investment ties."

Our members look forward to partnering to promote a resilient recovery and drive innovation and sustainable growth in Vietnam,” she added.
