The South-East Asian nation, which relies heavily on Russian weapons, has been looking to diversify its arsenal for years.

Talks with the US, which lifted an arms embargo in 2016, gained momentum during the Biden administration but have not yet yielded any formal announcement on major items.

“Deeper (military) cooperation will benefit both of our countries,” Hegseth, who arrived in the Vietnamese capital after meetings in Malaysia with Asian counterparts, said prior to meeting defence minister Phan Van Giang.
