HÀ NỘI Prime Minister Phạm Minh Chính and Governor of the US state of Nebraska Jim Pillen shared the view that ample room remains for the bilateral cooperation, and Nebraska should enhance relations with Việt Nam in general and its localities in particular during their meeting in Hà Nội on July 13.

Chính appreciated Pillen’s selection of Việt Nam for his first overseas trip in his capacity as Governor of Nebraska, and affirmed that Việt Nam considers the US a leading important partner and wishes to boost their bilateral comprehensive partnership, covering cooperation between localities and people-to-people exchange – a pillar of the relationship.

Speaking highly of the US state’s interest in cooperation with Việt Nam, the PM suggested its leaders and agencies step up delegation exchanges with Vietnamese localities, and better perform their role as a bridge between Việt Nam and the US.

The two sides should enhance collaboration in economy, trade and investment, especially the trading of agricultural products, as well as in education-training, science-technology-innovation, high-tech, finance-banking, and climate change response, he said.

Chính suggested the US state create conditions for the Vietnamese community to continue integrating into the host society and observe its laws, contributing to the relations between Việt Nam and the US, and Nebraska in particular.

For his part, Pillen lauded Việt Nam’s high growth rate with advantages like a young population, and hardworking workforce, stressing Nebraska wants to consolidate and expand relations with the Southeast Asian nation, especially its localities, in the above-said areas.  

He told the host that Nebraska has increased the shipment of its major agricultural products to Việt Nam like corn, soybean, beef, and other dried grain products.

A Nebraska delegation visited Việt Nam last January to seek ways to expand collaboration in education-training and science-technology, he added.

The Governor commended the Vietnamese Government’s orientations of high-tech agriculture and husbandry development in the time ahead, and pledged to help the country in the field, particularly in technological transfer.

Pillen expressed his impressions on Việt Nam’s commitments and efforts in climate change response, saying Nebraska hopes to foster cooperation with the country in this regard. VNS
