Vietnam
This information comes from the assessment conducted in country for the Vietnam report, which was published in November 2006.
As an integral part of its overall development strategy, Vietnam has linked a broad range of legal and judicial reforms to the implementation of the landmark U.S.-Vietnam Bilateral Trade Agreement (BTA), which came into effect on December 2001, and accession to the World Trade Organization (WTO), which was completed on January 11, 2007. These trade agreements have required extensive changes to Vietnam’s legal system to conform more closely to international norms and practices.
