Reuters: WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A U.S. aircraft carrier will visit Vietnam next year, the Pentagon said in a statement on Tuesday, in a sign of improving relations between the two countries.
U.S. Defense Secretary Jim Mattis and Vietnamese Minister of National Defense Ngo Xuan Lich agreed to the carrier's visit in a meeting at the Pentagon on Tuesday, the statement said.
It is believed to be the first visit by a U.S. aircraft carrier since the Vietnam War ended in 1975.
