Commemorating 30 years of diplomatic relations between the United States and Vietnam on July 11, 2025.

Summary

Affirms and recounts the history of U.S.–Vietnam relations and expresses congressional support for continued deepening of cooperation across trade, security, scientific, cultural, and human‑rights areas. It highlights past milestones (trade normalization, partnerships, presidential visits), ongoing war‑legacy work (MIA/POW accounting, unexploded ordnance removal, dioxin remediation, disability and education programs), and states that the United States and Vietnam will continue to strengthen ties to advance mutual interests and regional stability. The resolution is declaratory (a preamble-style statement of position) rather than an authorization or appropriation; it does not create new programs or direct federal spending but signals congressional endorsement of continued bilateral cooperation and existing efforts.
