Meeting senior Vietnamese Public Security Ministry officials on a tour that also took in China, the Federal Bureau of Investigation director thanked Vietnam for its law enforcement cooperation, a US embassy statement said.
Mueller wanted to "further enhance cooperation in a variety of critical areas in this era of increasing transnational crime," the statement said.
"No one person, no one agency, no one police department, and no one country has all the answers," Mueller was quoted saying in the statement. "This is why our relationship with our Vietnamese partners is such an important one."
On Thursday the FBI director was due to attend the opening of a new US Legal Attache Office in Phnom Penh, the 60th worldwide.
"The globalisation of crime -- whether terrorism, international trafficking of drugs, contraband, and people, or cyber crime -- absolutely requires us to integrate law enforcement efforts around the world," Mueller was quoted as saying on the website of the US embassy in Cambodia, which neighbours Vietnam.
