Vietnam gets recognition that they really have an important part to play in international security and economics and seriously represent the ASEAN’s view. Taking their seat at the UN Security Council will really lay to rest some of the perceived ghosts of the past particularly in the USA.
The UN General Assembly cast a near unanimous vote in favour of Vietnam becoming a non-permanent member of the UN Security Council on October 16th .
This is real recognition of the diplomatic prowess of the Vietnamese people and that Vietnam is becoming a real force in the global economy.

Outsourcing software development to Vietnam is now considered one of the best decisions that western management can make. In other words a real safe bet. There are a whole number of factors that support this view.
Firstly a recent survey by PWC put Vietnam at the top of the list as the “best destination to outsource to”, then Ho Chi Minh City comes in at number 6 in a survey on the best cities to develop software in. Of course the fact that the country has consistent GDP growth of plus 8% second only to China and stood third on the podium at the 2007 mathematics Olympics has also had a tremendous influence.
