The US-Vietnam Trade Council (USVTC) and its educational affiliate have played a leadership role in building a relationship between the U.S. and Vietnam, contributing to normalization of relations and improving the bilateral trade and investment environment. USVTC has played a key role in the negotiation and implementation of the US-Vietnam Bilateral Trade Agreement (BTA) and accession to the World Trade Organization (WTO) and continues to work closely with Vietnam on next steps in Vietnam's economic integration and development.

The Trade Council's Core Agenda...
The Trade Council's core agenda is built around three interdependent issues: full normalization of U.S.-Vietnam relations; the framework of policy essential to building a new economic partnership between the two nations; and assisting the establishment of links that increased bilateral trade and investment.
