The delegation is scheduled to visit seven factories and an industrial zone to study the process of making fibre and apparel products.

According to the Mexican chamber, the Trans Pacific Partnership agreement, once it takes effect, will allow Viet Nam to ship its garment and textile products to more markets, particularly the United States.

Viet Nam is the second largest garment and textile supplier to the United States, while Mexico is the sixth largest supplier.

Statistics show that Viet Nam shipped garment and textile products worth $11 billion to the United States last year.

In the first half of this year, the figure hit $4.29 billion, up 5.93 per cent year-on-year.
