Shira Loewenberg stated that the purpose of her business trip to Vietnam is to enhance exchanges and cooperation with ministries, branches, and relevant agencies.

The American Jewish Committee (AJC), established in 1906 by a small group of American Jews, is determined that the best way to protect Jewish populations in danger would be to work towards a world in which all peoples are accorded respect and dignity. In addition to its New York headquarters and Office of Government & International Affairs in Washington, D.C., AJC has regional offices and independent affiliates across the U.S. and overseas, in addition to a multitude of global partnerships.
