years since the lifting of a trade embargo and diplomatic relations, U.S.-Vietnam ties have grown, mostly through<br />
trade, but include cooperation on health and education. Source: Reuters<br />

VT Closes in on Military Contracts<br />
VT Group is closing in on two significant military service contracts and hopes to become preferred bidder on a waste<br />
management private finance bid in Wakefield that it said could double its order book by the end of the financial year in<br />
March. By the end of September, the group, which is focused on shipbuilding and defense services group, had lifted its<br />
order book by $413.6m to $7.66b compared with the interim period last year, thanks to a $310.1m shipbuilding deal<br />
for Trinidad and Tobago and regular contracts of up to $103.4m. Mike Murphy, analyst at Panmure Gordon, reportedly<br />
said the two military deals – covering flight training and air tanker services – would take the group’s order book to at<br />
least $10.3b by the end of the year. In the six months to the end of September, pre-tax profits including intangibles<br />
rose 31 per cent to $70.7m on revenue that rose 23 per cent to $1.2b. Following the spin-off, the group plans to focus<br />
exclusively on higher margin engineering-based services. Source: The Financial Times Limited<br />
