HANOI (Reuters) -Vietnam expects to sign a “reciprocal trade agreement” with the United States soon, Deputy Prime Minister Bui Thanh Son said on Wednesday, as a new round of negotiations takes place in Washington DC.

“Only trust can lead to cooperation, and only cooperation can lead to prosperity … and Vietnam always seeks to boost cooperation with the United States,” Son said at a U.S.-Vietnam business summit in Hanoi.
