Vietnam negotiate buying four Sigma corvettes from the Netherlands

[Indian Tiger]

Sigma class corvettes are built to sizes ranging from 50 to 150m in length and 9 to 15m width, addressing the whole spectrum from Offshore Patrol Vessel (OPV), via corvette to frigate size vessels meeting a wide range of customer demands. In fact, the class name Sigma stands for Ship Integrated Geometrical Modularity Approach. The lead ship of the SIGMA class was KRI Diponegoro, launched in 2004 for the Indonesian Navy.

Indonesia was the first customer for the new design, ordering four 9113 class 91 meter corvettes. In 2010 Indonesia has ordered four larger vessels, the 105m’ Type 10514. The Moroccan Navy became the second customer for this class, ordering three frigate sized multi-mission vessels in two classes – SIGMA Type 9813 (98m’) and the 105m’ SIGMA 10145. The first Moroccan Sigma frigate, Tarik ben Ziyad was transferred to the Royal Moroccan Navy on 10 September 2011. With the conclusion of the Vietnam, Schelde will win its third international customer for this class.

So Vietnam is not under arms embargo like China despite having fought a bloody war with the US. The US is accepting everything just to counter balance China, it is having military exercise with the Vietcong despite thousand of US GIs killed by the Vietcong and hundred still missing in action, the US is also selling its latest weaponry to India, all these in an attempt to contain China. Moreover Vietnam is also engaging into an arms race but it's a good news for China given that Vietnam will be diverting its resources to weapons purchase instead of investing in its economy and infrastructure thereby preventing it to fully challenge China in the low cost producing sector. The Vietnamese population is still living in abject poverty and its infrastructure is crumbling everywhere while its corrupt government is procuring weaponry adding more to corruption and resource diversion. The EU is selling weaponry to only one communist country-Vietnam while it is imposing arms embargo to China. Vietnam's human right records and freedom of expression and religion are worst than in China.

VN retains attractiveness to Japanese investors


Vietnam was seen as a attractive destination for Japanese investors, although the northeast Asian nation has changed its investment policy in Southeast Asia due to post-March disaster challenges.


According to a recent survey by Japan’s Nikkei Economic Times, the number of Japanese firms investing in Vietnam in 2010 rose to 1,000, from 200 in 2006.

The survey showed that approximate 70 percent of Japanese businesses interviewed considered Vietnam as the most attractive destination, surpassing Thailand, Indonesia and India.

The result of a survey made by the Japan Bank for International Cooperation (JBIC) in 2010 showed that of Japan's total overseas investment, Vietnam ranked third in the medium term as a country with high potential for foreign trade, and the fourth in the long term.

Hideo Naito, Head of Department for Investment Finance of Energy, Water Resource and Infrastructure at JBIC, attributed Vietnam’s magnetism to cheap labour, skilled workers, a strong development outlook for the domestic market and capacity to export to third countries.

Vietnam was also considered a market for potential domestic consumption by Japanese firms.

Marubeni group has cooperated with the Dong Nai Food Corporation (Dofico) with an ambition of becoming the number one in production and distribution of farm produce, food and feed in the Vietnamese market.

Earlier in May, the Japanese firm signed a strategic cooperation agreement with the Vietnam Garment and Textile Group (Vinatex) to increase exports of Vietnam’s apparel products to Japan.

According to the Ministry of Planning and Investment’s Foreign Investment Department , Japan had by August run 1,560 valid projects with a total registered capital of nearly US$22 billion, ranking fourth among 92 nations and territories directly investing in Vietnam .

Japan’s investment projects were mainly in the areas of industries and supporting industries, plus high tech investments in line with the Vietnamese Government’s policy.
