The American Apparel And Footwear Association Supports Vietnam'S Inclusion In TPP

American Apparel and

AAFA wrote to us trade representative Ron Kirk (Ron Kirk) last week to express their "very concerned" letter to Kirk, which was received a week ago by the US Manufacturing Trade Action Coalition (AMTAC).

The government has reconsidered Vietnam's participation in the p Pacific Partnership (TPP). At present, the United States, Vietnam and eight other Pacific Rim countries are holding talks.

There are several reasons for the letter from the US Manufacturing Trade Action Coalition (AMTAC), including the latest annual report of the US Department of labor International Labor Affairs, "children's or forced labor production catalogue", which lists Vietnam as a list of countries that use children or forced labor to make garments, in addition to other human rights violations, as well as the advantages and other problems of state enterprises in Vietnam's economy.

AAFA pointed out in the letter that putting Vietnam in the TPP relationship will improve the labour conditions in Vietnam and solve other problems mentioned by AMTAC.

If Vietnam is excluded from TPP, it will not be able to solve the problem of Vietnam, and the United States has lost the lever to force Vietnam to solve these problems.

On the other hand, the free trade agreement (FTA), like TPP, provides a mechanism for the countries involved in the free trade agreement.

As a broader concession, they assume that the final TPP will include labour issues and permanent strong commitments, key US market access and

Exit.

Such a result will improve labor conditions and create economic opportunities, which is the two goal of the United States in maintaining its international trade policy.
