Vietnam Major Trading Partners
By 1982 Vietnam's most important noncommunist trading
partners were Japan, Hong Kong, and Singapore. In 1985 these
three partners together accounted for US$576 million in trade,
approximately 65 percent of Vietnam's trade with non-Comecon
countries. In 1986 Japan and Hong Kong together conducted more
than 50 percent of Vietnam's non-Comecon trade. Much of the trade
with Hong Kong and Singapore, however, either originated in or
was destined for further trade to other countries, making it
difficult to assess the effectiveness of the trade boycott of
Vietnam subscribed to by a number of Western and Asian nations,
including Singapore.
