Kerry: U.S.-Vietnam have transformed their relationship

Secretary of State John Kerry said Tuesday that the U.S. and Vietnam are at a point of “demarcation” in their relationship, and have evolved past the war that tore both countries apart decades ago.

“For many years I have looked forward to a period when people would hear the word ‘Vietnam’ and think of a country more than a conflict,” Kerry said on Tuesday as he accompanied President Obama on his three-day trip to Vietnam.
