Vietnamese apparel businesses will be permitted to bid for outsourcing contracts to supply uniforms to military forces of other countries, according to the Ministry of Industry and Trade.
Local firms had sought permission to make, supply and export uniforms for foreign military forces, and Deputy Prime Minister Hoang Trung Hai has given them the nod, the ministry said in a document sent to its national defense and public security counterparts.
The trade ministry is soliciting advice from these counterparts to issue a joint circular on what requirements firms should meet to be allowed to sign military uniform manufacturing contracts with foreign customers.
