A resolution commemorating 30 years of diplomatic relations between the United States and Vietnam on July 11, 2025.
This is a Senate resolution commemorating the 30th anniversary of the United States and Vietnam establishing diplomatic relations, on July 11, 2025. It celebrates the progress in bilateral ties since normalization, highlights historical efforts related to POW/MIA issues and war legacy programs, and expresses ongoing congressional support for sustaining cooperation across political, economic, and people-to-people domains. Importantly, the resolution affirms a continued US commitment to fund and support Vietnam war-legacy initiatives (such as dioxin remediation, unexploded ordnance removal, disability programs, mine action capacity-building, and accounting for missing/fallen soldiers) and reinforces the framework of the Comprehensive Strategic Partnership established in 2023. As a non-binding Senate resolution, it signals congressional intent and support but does not by itself create new legal obligations or spending authorities.
