Vietnam

Vietnam has a population of 84,9 million people, most of whom live in rural areas. There are fifty-seven provinces, plus four major cities: Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City; Danang and Hai Phong. There are fifty-four distinct ethnic groups in Vietnam, but almost 90% of the population belong to the Viet or Kinh majority.

Vietnam is a one-party state, with the Communist party as the dominant political force. The past decade has seen a period of Doi Moi, or renovation, in Vietnam, which has led to remarkable improvements in the nation's economy, and significant improvements in quality of life for many Vietnamese.

                           
Following the introduction of Doi Moi, Vietnam signed an economic and trade cooperation agreement with the EU in 1992, joined ASEAN in 1995, AFTA in 1996 and APEC in 1998. Vietnam also signed the Bilateral Trade Agreement with the United States in 2000. Vietnam joined WTO accession in 2006.
