The new embassy represents a significant milestone in the U.S. diplomatic relationship with Vietnam, according to the U.S. Embassy.

 

The new campus would ensure the U.S. diplomacy platform in Hanoi is "positioned to support and be a symbol of cooperation, friendship, and progress," said the embassy.

 

The U.S. Embassy in Vietnam on Wednesday signed an agreement with the Hanoi Department of Natural Resources and Environment to lease a land lot to build a new campus in the presence of U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris, Vietnam’s Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs Nguyen Quoc Dung and Hanoi Chairman Chu Ngoc Anh.

 

The signing ceremony took place while Harris paid an official visit to Vietnam as the first sitting U.S. vice president ever to have officially visited the country.
