WASHINGTON — Representatives of more than 50 US companies will visit Việt Nam from March 21-23 to discuss investment and business opportunities under an annual programme hosted by the US-ASEAN Business Council.
Vũ Tú Thành, the council’s representative in Việt Nam, said the body has organised these events for three decades, adding that this is the biggest ever mission in the country.
Streaming giant Netflix, planning to open an office in Việt Nam, and many other companies that already have business or production facilities in Việt Nam such as Apple, Coca-Cola and PepsiCo as well as those intending to expand their operations in the Southeast Asian nation are among the participants.
According to Thành, some companies are interested in Việt Nam as a manufacturing hub and provider of services, with its economic growth topping 8 per cent last year.
Among them is SpaceX which is looking to sell its satellite internet services to Việt Nam and other countries in the region.
The mission will also include semiconductors companies, pharmaceutical giants Pfizer and Johnson & Johnson, medical device maker Abbott, financial firms Visa and Citibank, internet and cloud companies Meta and Amazon Web Services, he said link

Militia Man They spent somewhere around $49,429,000 in 2018...on currency issuance. That would be for the new small category notes and potentially the fils, which are coins...March 17th there was the article that came out about the coins. It also spoke about the deletion of the zeros. Those 2 things go hand in hand. Quote: "the central bank is the only one responsible for supplying the currency, bank notes and coins to the country of Iraq." That's the central bank's job. They did that in 2018...we know they did issue currency to the tune of about just under $50 million worth and they did it for a reason. [Post 1 of 2....stay tuned]
Militia Man Quote: 'The finance committee and the Iraqi parliament calls on the central bank to reintroduce the metal currency.' This was on the 17th - reintroduce metal currency. Why would you reintroduce metal currency if in fact you're going to come out as they state in the budget - 1300? Sounds to me from what we've read in the article...they have a caveat that they can amend the budget at any time... Quote: "small coins facilitate many daily banking transactions as the use of metal denominations and their circulation will give currency a legal value." So not only do they have value but it's legal... [Post 2 of 2]
