Washington DC, The Gulf Observer: Minister of Planning and Investment Nguyễn Chí Dũng and US Under Secretary of State Jose Fernandez co-chaired the inaugural Vietnam-US Economic Dialogue in Washington DC on June 25.
This event marked a significant milestone in promoting cooperation between the two nations, particularly in the areas of economy, trade, and investment.
