In addition, notes Shiu, Vietnam is a member of ASEAN and maintains good relations with the European Community. Moreover, it is expected that a US-Vietnam trade agreement will pass this year, at which point the US will give Vietnam normal trading status plus quotas for textiles and other goods. This development will be a big plus for Taiwan investors in Vietnam.
