TPP: U.S., Vietnam still far apart on apparel in trade talks
The latest U.S. offer "is really, really difficult for us to accept," said Nguyen Vu Tung, deputy chief of mission at Vietnam's embassy in Washington at a Jun 19 conference. Unless the two sides can reach a breakthrough, "I'm really concerned about the prospect of Vietnam to conclude the successful negotiation of TPP," he said. Meanwhile, a number of Korean, Hong Kong, and other firms plan to invest more than $820 million in Vietnam facilities to produce yarn and fabric in Vietnam to take advantage of the TPP "yarn-forward" rule of origin and duty-free exports to the USA.

One year ago, many Vietnamese apparel manufacturers had never even touched wool. Now, they can't seem to get enough of it. Australia's Woolmark® launched its "Out of Vietnam" project last year, with the aim of developing 12 manufacturing partners.Today there are close to 50 companies using Australian wool. After training courses to explain wool's properties, benefits and features for manufacturing and producing garments, the next step was to introduce suppliers of Australian wool yarns. Now that they are producing quality wool garments, AWI will introduce them to global retail and brand buyers.

Japan sees an urgency in overhauling policies that favor domestic industries as it seeks to revive its economy and join TPP, said Japan's ambassador to the U.S. "For the first time, people are seriously thinking that we need to change some things," Ambassador Kenichiro Sasae said in Washington. "Otherwise we will become second-rate citizens of the world." However, the American Automotive Policy Council, representing Ford Motor Co., General Motors Co., and Chrysler Group LLC, which is majority-owned by Fiat SpA, has opposed Japan's inclusion in the talks, saying Japan manipulates its currency to favor exports and shuts out foreign competitors.

With investors struggling to raise funds amid the economic slowdown, many resort and hotel projects have stalled and ended up having their licenses withdrawn. 257 resorts and hotels have been licensed in Phu Quoc since 2008 but only 20 have got underway. Vice chairman of the Vietnam Construction Federation, Pham Sy Liem, said the lack of capital is not the most important reason for the stagnant market, but the moderate number of visitors. Tourism arrivals are falling in Vietnam while neighboring countries are seeing record growth.

McDonald's senior officials have visited Vietnam to talk to prospective franchisees and planning is now under way for the first stores. The real opening time is likely to be far less than two years, depending on McDonald's ability to ensure a reliable and secure supply chain of fresh ingredients and complete its complex training program of franchisees and then staff. The American fastfood chain plans to open two outlets in Ho Chi Minh before expanding to Hanoi. Long term it plans 100 outlets, according to the unidentified official. McDonald's has 33,500 outlets worldwide in 119 countries but has been slow to target Vietnam.
