Viet Nam requests US to deliver objective, balanced assessment of IP protection efforts

Viet Nam called on the US to provide an objective and balanced assessment of Viet Nam’s efforts and achievements in intellectual property (IP) protection, said Spokesperson of Viet Nam’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs Pham Thu Hang on May 1.

In response to a reporter’s question regarding Viet Nam’s reaction to the US designating Viet Nam as a “Priority Foreign Country” in its annual report on global intellectual property protection and enforcement, she stated that in recent years, Viet Nam has made substantial efforts to protect intellectual property, including improving its legal framework, raising public awareness, and strengthening international cooperation with the World Intellectual Property Organisation (WIPO), the US, and many other countries.

“Viet Nam has also taken firm action against violations of IP rights. This remains both a high priority and a consistent policy of Viet Nam to build a healthy and transparent business environment and to transform its growth model with science and technology, innovation, and digital transformation as key drivers,” she stressed.

Viet Nam has been cooperating actively and effectively with the US in this area, and stands ready to share information and clarify its policies and regulations, she said, adding she believes that both sides should continue close coordination to appropriately address differences, for the benefit of both countries, and toward building a stable, balanced, and sustainable framework for economic and trade cooperation.
