The U.S.-Vietnam Trade Council and its educational affiliate of the U.S.-Vietnam
Trade Council Education Forum have an ongoing program of events and technical
assistance programs designed to further relations and understanding between
the US and Vietnam and to assist Vietnam with its goal of global integration.
The Trade Council and Education Forum are dedicated to strengthening the
foundation for a positive long- term relationship between the United States

With contributions from our Member companies and pursuant to grants from
