Greetings to the US Embassy Delegation and Ambassador Marc E. Knapper. As he visited and collaborated with the Vietnamese Ministry of Finance, Minister Ho Duc Phoc conveyed his satisfaction with the outcomes of the joint venture between Vietnam and the United States.

The Ministry of Finance has been tasked by the government to create an implementation decree, according to Minister Ho Duc Phoc. A tax resolution is expected to be released in early January 2024.
