"I am deeply saddened by the news of General Secretary Nguyễn Phú Trọng’s passing," said Ambassador Ted Osius, President and CEO of the US-ASEAN Business Council and former U.S. Ambassador to Vietnam. "It was an honor to help facilitate the historic visit of General Secretary Trọng to Washington and New York in 2015. In the Oval Office, then-President Barack Obama told the General Secretary that the United States respects different political systems. At a State Department lunch, then-Vice President Joe Biden said, "Thank heaven we are here today. To see the sun through parting fog and clouds" (Trời còn để có hôm nay. Tan sương đầu ngõ vén mây giữa trời). That visit placed our bilateral relationship on a new trajectory, leading to the Comprehensive Strategic Partnership that we enjoy today," he added.
