You've heard that Asia is a booming economy attracting crowds of businesses from overseas, but perhaps you don’t know where to begin to set up operations.

Maybe you haven't heard that bilateral trade between the United States and Vietnam reached $15.7 billion in 2008, 25 percent higher than 2007. In fact, despite some slowdowns in the recession, Vietnam's economy is expected to grow 4 to 5 percent in 2009.

While other economies have struggled, Vietnam has merely experienced slower growth. Vietnam's entry into the World Trade Organization in 2007 boosted U.S. exports to Vietnam 73 percent. In 2008, exports increased 47 percent.
