SEMINAR ON CENTRAL VIETNAM FOR LABOUR-INTENSIVE MANUFACTURING (15 NOV, FHKI)

[25-10-2016] Since the signing of Free Trade Agreements (FTA) and the coming ratification of The Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) amongst twelve of the Pacific Rim countries, the manufacturing sector of Vietnam is expedited and it will become dominant in the coming 2017.

Not only can the new FTA and TPP accelerate economic growth and reform, but Vietnam will also become more open to foreigners, which is conducive to doing business in Vietnam. Vietnam central has embarked on the economical bandwagon. The characteristics of abundant supply of labour and tax holidays there can attract overseas countries to seize investment opportunities in Vietnam.
