The annual high level delegation is organised by the US, ASEAN Business Council (USABC). Brian McFeeters, its president and chief executive, said he will lead senior executives from major US companies on the trip.
Despite ongoing global economic uncertainty, the size of the delegation reflects strong US business interest in expanding trade, investment and long term partnerships in Vietnam, as well as confidence in the country’s growth prospects, he said.
Participating companies span a wide range of sectors, including energy, technology and innovation, financial services and asset management, aerospace and automotive, logistics and advanced manufacturing, healthcare and life sciences, food and agriculture, consumer goods, travel and tourism, the creative economy and consulting services.
According to McFeeters, many of the firms are not only leading US corporations but also global industry frontrunners capable of bringing advanced technologies, long term capital, international experience and best practices. These contributions could support Vietnam in its next development phase and its goal of double digit growth.
He noted that the 2026 visit comes at a strategically significant time, following the success of the 14th National Party Congress and the completion of Vietnam’s new government leadership lineup.
USABC believes that under the leadership of the Party general secretary, state president and prime minister, alongside other new leaders, the country is entering a phase of strong, sustainable and high quality development, he said. He added that USABC and the US business community stand ready to support Vietnam in implementing its new development strategy and achieving long term goals.
The delegation is expected to seek clearer policy direction from the Vietnamese government, particularly on breakthrough reforms to improve the investment and business environment. Meetings during the visit will also reaffirm the US private sector’s long term commitment to Vietnam while highlighting the role of innovation, investment and cooperation in driving sustainable growth.
