Kamala Harris will become the first US vice president to visit Vietnam next month.

Harris will discuss regional security, the global response to Covid-19, climate change, and"our joint efforts to promote a rules-based international order," said spokesperson Symone Sanders.

"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," the White House said in a statement outlining Harris's travel plans.In Vietnam on Thursday, Austin sought to nudge forward security ties that have been steadily deepening amid shared concern about China's activities in the South China Sea.

Analysts said Harris's visit would be important to emphasize Washington's commitment to Southeast Asia, and several speculated it could result in more pledges of US vaccines to the region, which has been hit hard recently by Covid-19. Deputy Secretary of State Wendy Sherman visited Indonesia, Cambodia and Thailand in late May and early June and Japan, South Korea and Mongolia this month before heading to China for talks that appeared to do little to ease deeply strained ties.
