Vietnamese Ambassador to the US Nguyen Quoc
Cuong underscored Vietnam’s determination to speed up the negotiation of the
Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) Agreement at a dialogue between ambassadors of
the TPP member countries and the US New Democrat Coalition, in the US on March
28.
This is
one of the first official meetings between US congressmen and representatives
of TPP member countries in the context of efforts to accelerate the negotiation
to basically complete legal documents within 2012.
At the
event, Ambassador Cuong proposed that the coalition support the US grant of
General System of Preferences and recognition of Vietnam as a market economy.
The
Vietnamese diplomat highlighted the dynamic development of the entire
Asia-Pacific region with 45 free trade agreements signed in 2010 and 84
agreements, including the TPP, are currently being negotiated.
Vice
Chairman of the New Democrat Coalition Jim Himes stressed the importance of TPP
and affirmed the coalition’s support of efforts to promote trade
liberalisation.
Founded
in 1997, the coalition now has 51 congressmen from big states of the US.
