美国副总统卡玛拉·哈里斯将访问新加坡越南下个月的一次访问重点是加强经济联系，庆祝美国与印度-太平洋地区的文化联系。
这将是哈里斯第一次出国旅行，也是她第二次出国旅行，此前她在6月份访问了危地马拉和墨西哥，这是她领导外交努力解决向美国移民的根本原因的一部分。这将是美国副总统第一次访问越南。
哈里斯将是乔·拜登总统政府访问亚洲的最高级别官员。在她访问之际，美国政府正在努力对抗中国在该地区和全球的影响力。
据哈里斯首席发言人西蒙·桑德斯(Symone Sanders)称，哈里斯将与新加坡和越南领导人会面，讨论地区安全、冠状病毒大流行和气候变化等问题。
桑德斯周五表示:“拜登总统和哈里斯副总统已经将重建我们的全球伙伴关系和维护我们国家的安全作为重中之重，这次即将到来的访问将继续这项工作——深化我们在东南亚的接触。”他还补充说，哈里斯将是“有史以来第一位访问越南的副总统。”
拜登政府强调加强与印度-太平洋地区国家的外交关系，以反击中国。国防部长劳埃德·奥斯汀本周将访问该地区，重点是向与中国陷入领土纠纷的东南亚国家提供支持。
Harris to visit Singapore, Vietnam, focus on economic ties
WASHINGTON -- Vice President Kamala Harris will visit Singapore andVietnamnext month on a trip focused on strengthening economic ties and celebrating America’s cultural connection with the Indo-Pacific region.
It will be Harris' first overseas travel and second foreign trip, after she visited Guatemala and Mexico in June as part of her role leading diplomatic efforts to address the root causes of migration to the United States. And it will be the first time a U.S. vice president has visited Vietnam.
Harris will be the highest-ranking official from President Joe Biden's administration to visit Asia. Her visit comes as the administration is working to counter China’s influence in the region and globally.
According to chief Harris spokesperson Symone Sanders, Harris will meet with the leaders of Singapore and Vietnam to discuss regional security, the coronavirus pandemic and climate change.
“President Biden and Vice President Harris have made it a top priority to rebuild our global partnerships and keep our nation secure, and this upcoming visit continues that work — deepening our engagement in Southeast Asia," Sanders said Friday, adding that Harris would be “the first vice president to ever visit Vietnam.”
The Biden administration has placed an emphasis on strengthening diplomatic ties with nations in the Indo-Pacific region to push back against China. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin is visiting the region this week, with a focus on offering support for Southeast Asian nations embroiled in territorial rifts with China.
