On November 21, responding to the press about the conclusion of the US Treasury Department regarding the monetary policies of major trade partners, Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Pham Thu Hang said:

"Vietnam appreciates the US Treasury's conclusion that no trade partner, including Vietnam, intervenes in exchange rates to impact the balance of payments or gain unfair competitive advantages in international trade."

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs emphasized that over the past time, on the basis of the Comprehensive Strategic Partnership between the two countries, economic and trade relations between Vietnam and the US have achieved good results.

"In the coming time, Vietnamese authorities will continue to maintain close cooperation, regular and effective exchanges with the US Treasury Department to further enhance understanding, contributing to promoting the stable and sustainable development of Vietnam-US economic relations and meeting the interests of citizens of the two countries," said Ms. Pham Thu Hang.

Previously, on November 14, the US Treasury Department released a semi-annual report on macroeconomic and foreign exchange policies of major trading partners with the US.

Accordingly, this ministry positively assessed Vietnam's monetary policy and continued to determine "no currency manipulation".
