Hang made the statement on Saturday while answering a reporter's question about Vietnam's reaction to the U.S. Department of Commerce (DOC)'s decision to continue to identify Vietnam as a non-market economy.
"We are disappointed that the U.S. Department of Commerce continues to identify Vietnam as a non-market economy. Although recognizing many positive changes in the Vietnamese economy in recent times, this decision does not fully reflect Vietnam's great efforts and achievements in building and developing a market economy, which have been recognized by the international community," she said.
In the spirit of comprehensive strategic partnership, Vietnam requests the U.S. to continue implementing its commitment to broad, strong and constructive coordination and to soon recognize the market economy status of Vietnam.
