At a press conference after the summit with Vietnam in Hanoi on the 11th, U.S. President Biden said, “We have elevated our cooperation with Vietnam to a ‘comprehensive strategic partnership,’ the highest level of partnership in Vietnam.” “This means that the United States has strengthened its relationship with another important Indo-Pacific partner,” he said. Comprehensive Strategic Partnership, engagement with Pacific Island States through the Pacific Islands Forum, strengthened alliance with the Philippines, 'Ocus' partnership with Australia and the UK, upgraded Quad engagement with India, Australia and Japan, ' It is based on the ‘Indo-Pacific Economic Framework for Prosperity’. “This is to show Indo-Pacific partners and the world that the United States is a Pacific country and is not leaving anywhere,” he said, excluding cooperation with North Korea and Russia from strengthening the Indo-Pacific strategy.
