Vietnam: “Factory of the World”?

The Vietnamese government is invested in becoming a “factory of the world”, integrating manufacturing and logistics to serve the ASEAN region.

The Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) is a trade bloc with a population of nearly 700 million people. ASEAN’s rising middle class and significant economic development over the past decade make it an appealing trade partner for the West.

As Vietnam pours $150 billion into a range of logistics upgrades, they hope to usurp Singapore as the region’s top shipment gateway. Vietnam boasts the highest level of internet connectivity in the region, not to mention a business-friendly legislative environment.

Vietnam’s message to Canadian companies is clear: ASEAN is open for business, and Vietnam is the best gateway through which to trade.
