HANOI, Vietnam—During his visit to Vietnam, President Joe Biden stopped by the John Sidney McCain III Memorial on Sept. 11 to honor his late friend and colleague Sen. John McCain, whose plane was shot down over Hanoi in 1967 during the Vietnam War.

President Biden arrived in Vietnam on Sept. 10 after finishing his meetings at the G20 summit in India. During his two-day visit to Hanoi, Vietnam’s capital, the president met with Communist Party General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong and other key Vietnamese leaders.
