At a conference in Vietnam last week the need for more stringent export controls was highlighted by Tran Thanh Hai, deputy head of the Import-Export Administration under the Ministry of Industry and Trade.
Also at the conference, Atsuko Nishigaki, director of the Office of International Affairs for Security Export Control of Japan, urged Viet Nam to complete export control regulations in an effort to further develop the country’s economy and contribute to regional security.
There are already signs that other countries in the Asia-Pacific region are either implementing or intending to implement Export Controls similar to the regimes already in place in the European Union and the United States.
If your company would like to know more about these regulations/controls and whether your business may be impacted then please get in touch. (info@integrityassociates.co.uk)
