Not only in the field of high technology, in order to meet the opportunities brought up by the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP), many large FDI projects will flow into Vietnam in the coming time. The negotiations in an effort to resolve outstanding issues when joining TPP will be conducted this coming months. If completed, the TPP will bring many opportunities (and of course the challenges) for Vietnam.

Meanwhile, there are more and more foreign business delegations coming to seek investment opportunities through setting up factories in Vietnam. Last week, a South Korean business delegation came to Vietnam to survey the market and seek investment opportunities in the field of electronics industry in Vietnam.

South Korea is currently the largest investor in Vietnam, with total registered capital of over 39 billion USD and this figure will continue to rise sharply in the future. According to Mr. Kim Young Sun, general secretary of the ASEAN – Korea Center, Vietnam is an attractive investment destination for many Korean businesses, especially businesses in the electronics field.

In particular, with the Vietnam – Korea free trade agreement has just been signed, the expected two-way trade turnover will reach 70 billion USD by 2020. This will open up further extensive cooperation opportunities between Vietnam and Korea in various fields, including investment in Vietnam.
