Vietnam National Day – United States Department of State

On behalf of the Government of the United States of America, I extend my heartfelt congratulations to the Government and people of Vietnam as you celebrate your National Day on September 2.

The United States admires the resilience, determination, and progress made by the Vietnamese people. Vietnam continues to demonstrate remarkable growth and development, becoming a vital partner in the Indo-Pacific region and a leader in addressing shared global challenges.

This year also marks the 30th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between our two nations. The United States is proud of the progress we have made together under the Comprehensive Strategic Partnership, which has strengthened our cooperation in security, science and technology, education, and addressing regional challenges, including maritime security and transnational crime.

As we commemorate this historic occasion, we reaffirm our commitment to deepening our nations’ bonds. Together, we will continue to advance peace, prosperity, and security for the American and Vietnamese people, as well as for the broader Indo-Pacific region.

On this special day, I send my warmest wishes to the people of Vietnam for a joyous celebration and a prosperous year ahead.
