Trade partners push Vietnam's WTO bid
March 12, 2006
Bloomberg News reported Sunday that Vietnam’s entry into the World Trade Organization would reduce state control of the economy and also cut the official poverty rate in half, while doubling per-capita income within Vietnam.
According to the report:
“Vietnam's top trading partners will meet this month in Geneva to try to push forward the country's bid to join the World Trade Organization, a move that Vietnam hopes will bolster its exports and further reduce poverty.”
“The working party will meet for the first time since September to try to resolve concerns about Vietnam's investment regime, state subsidies and trading rights. The meeting comes as an American business delegation in Hanoi on Saturday urged the United States and Vietnam to conclude talks that are a prerequisite for the Southeast Asian nation to join the global trading club.”
