US ambassador to Vietnam says US arms manufacturers could help Vietnam build up its armed forces

U.S. Weapons manufacturers could collaborate with Vietnamese counterparts to strengthen Vietnam's armed forces, according to U.S. Ambassador Mark Knapper.
The goal is to ensure Vietnam can defend its interests at sea, in the air, on the ground, and in cyberspace, said Mark Knapper.
Vietnam aims to increase domestic arms manufacturing while reducing reliance on Russia, which accounted for 60% of its military purchases in 2022.
Vietnam's efforts to diversify arms imports have been accelerated by the war in Ukraine and escalating tensions in the South China Sea.
