and IM Systems Group met with the officials on the sidelines of the country's first large-scale arms fair last week, according to the US-ASEAN Business Council, the industry body that arranged the meetings.
"This marks the beginning of a more open-minded Vietnam People's Army to U.S. weapons, and a willingness to engage deeper with the U.S. in defence as a whole," said Nguyen The Phuong, a military expert and researcher at the University of New South Wales. Lockheed Martin, which showcased fighter and military transport planes at the event, declined to comment.
The arms fair attracted dozens of defence companies from 30 countries, all hoping to get a share of the estimated $2 billion Vietnam spends annually in arms imports amid on-off tensions with its neighbour China.
