Vietnam's new home

Article Abstract:

Vietnam's imminent membership in the Asean regional group reflects Southeast Asia's ability to adapt to changing circumstances as well as the diplomatic vision of Vietnam's own leaders. It will have dramatic effects on Vietnam's foreign policy and economy by facilitating political and trade ties both regionally and worldwide. Vietnam's domestic affairs, however, are unlikely to be affected. The Cold War ideological boundaries and the confrontational power politics that once marked the region seem to be abolished forever.

Opportunities in Vietnam

Article Abstract:

Vietnam is seeking investment in its infrastructure now that the US economic embargo has been lifted. Transport, communication and utlities all require investment and there is a need for modern health and educational facilities. According to a report Construction Development in Vietnam, the main opportunities are for privately funded industrial and commercial developments and infrastructure programmes. Demand for business and tourist hotels will also be high.

Vietnam opens mixed bag

Article Abstract:

The government of Vietnam is keen to sell off a number of state-owned companies, and now plans to establish national, provincial and company level committees to deal with the privatisation programme. The sales will generally involve the issue of shares to management and employees, with the government keeping a golden share. The original privatisation programme was launched in 1992, but only six companies have been involved so far.
