Leave a comment

TĐH: These Muslim Chams in Cambodia are descendants of the Vietnamese Chams from the Champa Kingdom that VN annexed from the 14th century and completed the annexation in the 17th century. Should the Vietnamese government come to Cambodia and help them?

Vietnamese textile manufacturers are seeing orders decline with buyers moving to others, cheaper developing countries.

Normally, by the end of a year they would have enough orders for the whole of the following year, Nguyen Van Thoi, chairman of TNG Investment and Trading JSC, which makes garments, said.
