\"On behalf of the Government of the United States of America, I extend to the people of Vietnam my best wishes for your National Day on September 2nd.<\/p>\n
This year, I was able to see firsthand the remarkable growth in our bilateral relationship, and the rapid pace of positive change in Vietnam. You have much to be proud of as a strong, dynamic, and culturally vibrant nation, deeply engaged with friends and partners across the region.<\/p>\n
Together, Vietnam and the United States have accomplished much over the past year. We have expanded our security relationship, forged new business links, and grown our people-to-people ties. Visits by President Trump, Secretary Mattis and Deputy Prime Minister Hue have reinforced our shared commitment to peace, security and prosperity in the Indo-Pacific region, and we look forward deepening our cooperation in the year ahead. The future for our two nations is bright, and our friendship is full of still greater promise.<\/p>\n
As you celebrate today, I offer the United States\u2019 hopes for a peaceful and prosperous year ahead.\"<\/p>", "quote": null, "citation": "
