(VOVworld) – The Vietnamese Ambassador to the US has joined the Ambassadors of Canada, Peru, and Japan in a discussion in Washington on the challenges and opportunities faced by TPP signatories.

The ambassadors and representatives of these four TPP member countries informed the public in each country about the trade deal and potential future challenges that may be created by its signing and implementation.

Vietnamese Ambassador Pham Quang Vinh raised Vietnam’s concerns with the deal since the beginning of the negotiation process adding that Vietnam is determined to complete the TPP ratification and implementation as committed.

Vinh said the agreement is economically and strategically essential to Vietnam and other members, hoping that Vietnam will receive technical support from others to quickly adapt to the new economic environment created by the TPP.

Vinh noted that many countries including several TPP members have recognized Vietnam as a market economy. Vietnam is proactively urging the US to do the same.
