Hanoi, 31 March 2009
To: H.E. Secretary Gary Locke
Department of Commerce of the United States of AMERICA
Your Excellency,
On behalf of the Ministry of Industry and Trade of Vietnam, I would
like to extend my warmest congratulations on your appointment as
Secretary of the Department of Commerce. I strongly believe that
you will succeed in your new leadership position.
As you have learned, the trade and economic relations between
Vietnam and the United States of AMERICA have achieved great steps
in recent years. The entry into force of the Vietnam - U.S.
Bilateral Trade Agreement, the status of Vietnam as a member of the
WTO, and recently, the conclusion of the TIFA are factors that
create the foundations of developing bilateral relations between
Vietnam and the United States of America.
I also hope we will cooperate to contribute to the development of
good relationships and mutual understanding between the Department
of Commerce and the Ministry of Industry and Trade of Vietnam in the
future.
I hope to have the pleasure of meeting you soon.
Regards,
Vu Huy Hoang
Minister of Industry and Trade
The Socialist Republic of Vietnam
