Deputy Spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Vietnam Doan Khac Viet answered a reporter's question asking about Vietnam's viewpoint on the 2024 US presidential election and its impact on Vietnam-US bilateral relations at a regular press conference on the afternoon of October 31.
"After nearly 30 years of establishing diplomatic relations between Vietnam and the US, the relationship between the two countries has achieved strong, profound, substantive and effective developments, in which the two countries upgraded their relationship to a Comprehensive Strategic Partnership in 2023," said Mr. Doan Khac Viet.
The representative of the Vietnamese Ministry of Foreign Affairs emphasized that currently, Vietnam and the US are closely coordinating to effectively implement major cooperation directions in the next 10 years and beyond as stated in the joint statement on upgrading Vietnam-US relations to a comprehensive strategic partnership for peace, cooperation and sustainable development.
"Vietnam wishes to cooperate closely with the US administration in the coming time to continue to develop the Vietnam - US Comprehensive Strategic Partnership in a strong, comprehensive, stable and long-term manner, for the interests and aspirations of the people of the two countries, for peace, stability, cooperation and development of the region and the world" - Deputy Spokesperson Doan Khac Viet shared.
The United States will officially enter the presidential election every four years on November 5, 2024.
The race to the White House is currently in the final stages and is very fierce, as the Democratic Party's presidential candidate, Kamala Harris, and the Republican Party's candidate, Donald Trump, are chasing each other closely in terms of support.
Historically, US presidential elections have always been highly anticipated events and are considered one of the most intense and longest elections in the world.
The US presidential election process consists of two stages: the stage of electing party candidates called the primary election and the stage of officially electing the president from among the candidates called the general election.
US presidential candidates must satisfy the mandatory standards set forth by the US Constitution: be at least 35 years old, have lived in the US continuously for over 14 years, be a US citizen, and be born in the US.
According to the Constitution, all US citizens aged 18 and over have the right to vote.
