HANOI, Vietnam (AP) - President Nguyen Minh Triet will make a state visit to the United States on Monday, the first by a Vietnamese head of state since the end of the Vietnam War and a symbol of the increasingly close ties between the former foes.The trip comes as concerns about Vietnam's human rights record are growing in Washington, but Triet will try to shift attention from the Communist Party's tight political grip to Hanoi's growing embrace of market economics.
Triet will arrive in New York on Monday, traveling with a delegation of over 100 Vietnamese businessmen. He plans to visit the New York Stock Exchange and witness the signing of various business deals.
In addition to agreements in the energy and technology sectors, Vietnam is negotiating to buy jets from Boeing Co., but it was not clear whether that deal would be completed during Triet's trip.
