On September 10 in Hanoi, AmCham, in cooperation with VCCI and the US Chamber of Commerce, hosted the 2nd annual US-Vietnam Business Summit. The conference featured participation from Deputy Prime Minister Trinh Dinh Dung and Under Secretary of Commerce Gilbert Kaplan. The event had a digital economy focus, and included panel discussions on cybersecurity, e-commerce, innovation, supply chains and trade facilitation, as well as regional and global trade tensions. Moving forward, AmCham, VCCI and the US Chamber, agreed to form a “Digital Economy Partnership,” to advance common interests in the development of Vietnam’s digital economy. On the sidelines of the Summit, a group of AmCham members held private meetings with Deputy Prime Minister Dung, Undersecretary Kaplan, and Ambassador Dan Kritenbrink.
