USA-Vietnam: Permanent Normal Trade Relations granted

The US Congress has given final approval to a bill to restore normal trade ties with Vietnam.

The bill granting "permanent normal trade relations" (PNTR) status to Vietnam was approved during an all-night session.

Some lawmakers criticized the move to boost trade ties with Vietnam, citing what they called the communist-ruled state's poor human rights record and crackdown on dissent.
