Jamieson Greer appreciated Vietnam’s goodwill and proactiveness in preparing for the negotiations between the two sides, and generally agreed with Vietnam’s approach and proposals.
He expressed his hope that with the efforts of both sides, the upcoming technical negotiations will yield positive results, bringing practical benefits to their people and business communities, contributing to stability and sustainable development in bilateral trade relations and the Comprehensive Strategic Partnership.
Based on this, the two officials reached a high consensus on principles, approaches, content orientations, and negotiation plans, thereby establishing a foundation for subsequent negotiation sessions to achieve positive outcomes./.
