VN Express is covering what Vietnamese businesses are looking for from US President Joe Biden’s trip to Hanoi.
Key takeaways:
- The garment and textiles sector is looking for lower import taxes and looser regulations around raw materials;
- Farmers are looking for greater market access, particularly for tropical fruits; and
- The wood industry wants access to cheaper American wood.
Eds note: Whereas the geopolitics of Biden’s visit to Hanoi are well documented, in Vietnam there seems to be little interest. The focus domestically is on trade with the United States including attracting more investment and getting better market access.
