The U.S. and Vietnam have built a lasting relationship since re-opening diplomatic ties 15 years ago that has created wealth, boosted trade and investment and enhanced security, former President Bill Clinton said in Hanoi.
As U.S. leader, Clinton oversaw the normalization of links in 1995 and in 2000 became the first U.S. head of state to visit the Vietnamese capital. During a return trip today, Clinton met with Vietnam’s Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung and spoke to students at Hanoi’s Foreign Trade University.
