„Die Zusammenarbeit zwischen den USA und Vietnam hat sich intensiviert. Wir haben vor Kurzem das Lieferungsverbot von tödlichen Waffen nach Vietnam mit dem Ziel aufgehoben, dem Land den Zugang zu der Militärtechnik zu ermöglichen, die es irgendwann brauchen wird“.

"Deputy Defence Minister Senior Lieutenant General Nguyen Chi Vinh made the remark during his reception in Hanoi on October 3 for Thailand’s out-going Defence and Army, Navy, and Air Force attachés in Vietnam and their newly-appointed replacements. "

Since god - know - when, Thailand behaviors to VN has always been unpredictable. But to cultivate ties wont hurt, i guess.

actually I see our relationship to the Siamese is the best in history. by the way, the children in Vietnam should drink more milk, eat more meat to get taller. it won´t be too bad if the government implements a national program of introducing milk for all schoolchildren. our kids in overseas are generally tall, having more weight.

THIS!!! THIS a million times. The majority of the Vietnamese kids born in the US are 5'9-6'1 tall. Vietnamese people aren't short genetically, at least I don't think so. Malnutrition is what causes Vietnamese look sickly. Free infant milk should be given until a child is 13, at the very least.

This must be done if we want children's brain to fully develop. That can't happen if kids spent half their childhood starving. I've been thinking about this for a long time.

He is actually a native of Hué, the old capital of Vietnam, Capt. H.B. Le, Commodore of the US Destroyer Squadron 7 (USPACOM) with Rear Adm. Darwanto, Commander of the Eastern Fleet Command RI of the Indonesian Navy, discussing on CARAT Indonesia.

Carat is a series of annual maritime exercises between the U.S. Navy and U.S. Marine Corps with the Armed Forces of Bangladesh, Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, and Timor-Leste.

what is the missing country? Vietnam.

Nearly every country on the planet does military exercise with the US armed forces, but there are still too much hesitations hence not happening any time soon.

The problem is, infant formula milk in Vietnam is very expensive (much more than in western countries). Since people care a lot about getting high quality formula for their children (the ones that can afford it), companies have been using it as a product for high profit (exactly the same situation in China). The government have been trying to do price controls, but companies always figure a way out of that. No solution on sight. Also, many such products sold by Vietnamese companies are of substandard quality, they advertise one thing, but give something different. They may mix the original milk powder with lower quality ones or even do a total fake like advertising pure New Zealand formula and actually giving chinese milk powder. A lot of tricky people in Vietnam in the food business, only China is worst. Sorry to say it, but its the truth.

Only the government have the power to do something, but they are not known for being very effective. They are good at talking, but not very good at delivering. Its a bad situation.

Also, Rouhani hailed Vietnam as a country which has contributed to the economic development in the region, and the one that enjoys good and close relations with Iran, according to Press TV.

He said that the visit to Vietnam is meant to enhance bilateral ties, especially in the areas of exporting technical and engineering services from the Islamic republic to the country.

According to the report, a delegation from Iran's private sector will also discuss economic relations with their Vietnamese partners in Hanoi during the president's visit.

Reportedly, trade exchanges between Iran and Vietnam reached 300 million U.S. dollars in 2013 from 80 million dollars in 2010.

Currently, the bilateral trade between stand at 350 million dollars. Iran has expressed interest in raising the figure to 2 billion dollars in five years.

After the visit to Hanoi, Rouhani will travel to the capital of Thailand, Bangkok, on Friday to attend a summit of the inter-governmental organization of Asia Cooperation Dialogue (ACD).

The corporations don't. They always find a way to bypass government control, making the price higher and higher. Not to mention that the "milk" is often stripped of nutrition, even in the expensive brands.
