Vietnam says USTR forced labour conclusion does not reflect its efforts

- Vietnam's foreign ministry said on Thursday that the U.S. Trade Representative's conclusion that it had failed to curb trade in goods made with forced labour does not fully or accurately reflect Vietnam's mitigation efforts.

Vietnam's policy strictly prohibits any form of forced labour, and it complies with the regulations of the International Labour Organization, foreign ministry spokesperson Pham Thu Hang told a regular press conference in Hanoi.
