The zone is witnessing strong capitalflows into infrastructure development, logistics services and others. However, foreign investment into these sectors still lags behind those in thenearby region,Thu said, noting that although agricultural and fishery products fromthe Mekong Delta have found their way into the US market, trade between the USand the Vietnamese region remains limited.
Given that the governments of Vietnam and the US have agreedto boost bilateral trade and investment, it is important for regionalenterprises to have clear understanding of the US’s regulations.
