The Government’s members assessed that Việt Nam owns numerous advantages for further development, such as the faster global economic recovery than forecasted, the comining into effect of the ASEAN-China Free Trade Agreement and the ASEAN–Australia–New Zealand Free Trade Agreement since January 1, 2010, and optimistic forecasts and confidence of foreign players in the Southeast Asian economy.
