HANOI, Vietnam (AP) — President Joe Biden is wrapping up a visit to Vietnam by calling on the two countries to improve their collaboration. Biden met Monday in Hanoi with Vietnamese government officials and business leaders. Both sides spotlighted new deals and partnerships between the U.S. and Vietnam. Biden will also pay his respects at a memorial to his friend and former colleague John McCain. The late U.S. senator from Arizona was held for more than five years as a prisoner during the Vietnam War. Biden and McCain were colleagues in the U.S. Senate. Biden will observe the anniversary of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks in Alaska before he returns to the White House.
