It has been an eventful month for the US-Vietnam relationship. President Biden visited Hanoi to reinforce the United States’ commitment to a strong, prosperous, resilient, and independent Vietnam. During the visit, the two countries agreed to upgrade their relationship to a “comprehensive strategic partnership”, a symbolic but significant diplomatic status that puts the US on par with China, Russia, India and South Korea. A week later, Prime Minister Chinh and a large team of senior Vietnamese officials visited San Francisco, Washington DC, and New York City to push for increased trade and investment. US Ambassador Marc Knapper was at the center of it all, participating in both visits and working hard to deepen the friendship between our two countries. The Ambassador has just returned from the US trip and will share his thoughts on the newly upgraded relationship and what it means for AmCham members at a special luncheon this Thursday.
Marc E. Knapper is the eighth US Ambassador to Vietnam since our countries normalized diplomatic relations in 1995. Among other diplomatic assignments, the Ambassador lived in Hanoi from 2004-2007 when he was the Embassy’s Counselor for Political Affairs. He is a recipient of the Secretary of State’s Distinguished Service Award, the nation’s highest diplomatic honor. Ambassador Knapper also received a Presidential Meritorious Service Award and the Department of State’s Linguist of the Year Award. He has served as Ambassador here since January 2022 and is a friend to many AmCham members.
