Vietnam Japan
Japanese trade with Vietnam--US$285 million in 1986--was
conducted through Japanese trading companies and the
Japan-Vietnam Trade Association, which was made up of some
eighty-three Japanese firms. Japanese government officials also
visited Hanoi in support of trade, but Vietnam's failure to repay
outstanding public and private debts inhibited further trade
growth. Japanese exports to Vietnam emphasized chemicals,
textiles, machinery, and transportation equipment. In return,
Vietnamese exports to Japan comprised mostly marine products and
coal.
