U.S. Ambassador Visits Ford Vietnam's Hai Phong Plant, Underscoring a Partnership of Nearly Three Decades

Hai Phong, 29 October 2026: Ford Vietnam welcomed H.E. Madam Jennifer Wicks McNamara, U.S. Ambassador to Vietnam, to its Hai Phong plant. The visit, part of her working program in the city, underscored the role of American enterprises in the U.S.-Vietnam economic partnership and the deepening cooperation between the Embassy and Ford Vietnam.

The Ambassador was accompanied by her spouse, Mr. George McNamara, Economic Counselor Ben Embury and Embassy colleagues. A Hai Phong External Affairs Department representative attended.

During a meeting with representatives from the leadership of Ford Vietnam, the Ambassador expressed her support for U.S. businesses in Vietnam: "My focus here as Ambassador is advocating for U.S. businesses, rebalancing trade and growing economic opportunity. It is very compelling to see first-hand what it takes to produce something as complicated as a vehicle. Many thanks for that tour and for allowing us to be in your plant."

Ford reaffirmed its commitment to sustainable mobility, green manufacturing and technology transfer, and will keep investing in Vietnam and the community.
