Hewlett-Packard Co and Compaq Computer Corp are reported to have become the first US computer companies to sign contracts in Vietnam since Washington eased its trade embargo against the country last month, Reuter reports from Hanoi: the two were said to have signed business agreements to supply computers to Viettronimex, a Vietnamese import-export company, once Washington lifts the trade embargo, but Compaq denied that it had signed a contract – We don’t know any Viettronimex, a spokeswoman said, adding that We would like to be selling products there and we will go into that market as soon as the trade restrictions are lifted.
