Vietnam Wants to Be Next Singapore

VOA News

   As the only Southeast Asian nationsin what was once called the TPP
   trade agreement, Vietnam and Singapore seem far apart. One has the
   lowest income per capita among agreement members, the other has the
   highest. One relies on physical manufacturing and commodities, the
   other on financial and trading services. One is populated by close to
   100 million people, the other is an island of not even6million people.

   However, Vietnam would like to think the two are closer than that as it
   labors to becomethe next Singapore.
