About this meeting the TUOI TRE newspaper wrote:

“You cannot exaggerate the responsibility of these 5 business men, as they were, in fact, the five “ambassadors” entitled to introduce the new face of the business environment in VN to the US President. Speaking impeccable English, they showed great confidence in the dialogue with the US President. They were proud to talk about their businesses and quite straightforward when it came to speak out about the wishes and proposals to the US President, as well as to US Government and business.”

As regards the meeting, Mr Nguyen Quoc Khanh commented: “During the meeting, President Bush was very friendly, cheerful, and encouraging. He showed real care and that is why the meeting was very comfortable.”
