McCain was an outstanding representative for the generation of US parliamentarians and veterans from the war in Vietnam. He was a pioneer who made great contributions to healing the wounds of the war, normalizing Vietnam-US relations and setting up the comprehensive partnership between the two nations.

“We treasure efforts made by McCain in building and developing the Vietnam-US relations over the past decades,” she stressed.
