"We've discussed the TPP, and we're committed to the ambitious goal of completing this agreement before the end of the year; the need for continued efforts to resolve peacefully maritime issues that have surfaced in the South China Sea and other parts of the Asia Pacific region; the issues of human rights; the efforts that have been made to deal with war legacy issues. Finally, we agreed that one of the great sources of strength between our two countries is the Vietnamese American population that is here but obviously has continued strong ties to Vietnam."

"It is time now to form a comprehensive partnership. The Vietnamese side will do its utmost for the conclusion of TPP by the end of this year. We touched upon the war legacy issue, including human rights, we still have differences. I would like to convey a message to the Vietnamese-American community that we would like to see you contributing more to the friendship between our two countries. We discussed in detail the issue of the East Sea. We appreciate and welcome the U.S. support for our stance in this matter, as well as the stance of ASEAN, and we appreciate the U.S. support to solving the matter by peaceful means in accordance with international law. I extend to President Obama our invitation to visit Vietnam. And President Obama has accepted and will try his best to pay a visit to Vietnam during his term."

Southeast Asia's economic growth was generally solid in the first quarter of 2013. The Philippines achieved stronger-than-expected GDP growth of 7.8% year on year, as domestic demand was buoyed by accelerated public and private investment and stable remittance inflows. Indonesia's domestic demand continues to be strong, driven by private consumption and both private and public investment, with GDP growing by 6.0% year on year. Thailand's economic growth moderated to 5.3% year on year in the first quarter, coming off a rapid 2012 pace that largely reflected recovery from floods in 2011.

Macroeconomic stability, without broad structural reforms, has not been sufficient to lift the economy from its long spell of slow growth, two percentage points below other emerging EAP competitors (chart). Policymakers have been consumed in recent years with trying to stabilize the economy, with the hope that growth will automatically resume. But even as the economy has stabilized, growth has been below 7% for the sixth consecutive year, with the economy expected to grow in 2013 at its second slowest pace since the early-1990s. Efforts to stimulate the economy have faced diminishing returns, while raising fiscal deficits and creating new contingent liabilities. Without accelerating structural reforms, especially in the banking and SOE sectors, Vietnam faces the risk of a prolonged period of slow growth.
