Responding to reporters’ questions on Vietnam’s reaction to the report, which included Vietnam on its special watch list, Hang stated that Vietnam is ready to work together with the US over matters of shared concern in the spirit of frankness, openness, and mutual respect in contentious issues, thereby contributing to the enhancement of the Vietnam - US Comprehensive Strategic Partnership.
