HO CHI MINH CITY, Vietnam — Prime Minister Justin Trudeau continued his visit to Vietnam today by taking part in a roundtable with business leaders in Ho Chi Minh City. Trudeau was also a guest at the city’s stock exchange where he rang a gong three times to get the trading day started. His itinerary also includes an armchair discussion with the chairman of the Ho Chi Minh People’s Committee, a visit to a university and an evening reception before he heads to Da Nang for Friday’s Asia-Pacific Economic Co-operation summit. There has been speculation that some kind of deal could be reached by the end of the summit. However, Trudeau said Wednesday that he will not be pressed into signing an updated Trans-Pacific Partnership treaty too hastily, even if some of Canada’s partners are keen to secure a quick agreement.
