The U.S. appreciates Vietnamese PM Pham Minh Chinh's thorough participation at the U.S.-ASEAN Special Summit in Washington, a senior diplomat said Tuesday.

"We were absolutely honored to have Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh representing Vietnam at the summit," said U.S. Assistant Secretary of State for the Bureau of East Asian and Pacific Affairs Daniel J. Kritenbrink.

"We were very grateful that PM Chinh spoke at every session on a broad range of issues including our desire to combat climate change, combat the spread of Covid-19, and of course, advance the shared principles on maritime-related matters that we've referred to elsewhere," Kritenbrink told VnExpress in a telephonic conversation.
