They discussed the African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA), Ghana's local content policy, US import regulations, outstanding debts to US firms and the revival of the Trade and Investment Framework Agreement (TIFA). Ghana's Trade, Agri-business and Industry Minister Elizabeth Ofosu-Adjare recently met senior US officials in Washington, DC, to address critical trade policy issues. They discussed the AGOA, Ghana's local content policy, US import regulations, outstanding debts to US firms and the revival of the TIFA pact. She is scheduled to meet USTR officials in the next few weeks to continue consultations. The minister stressed the importance of AGOA—set to expire in September 2025—in attracting US investment, particularly, in Ghana's growing garment and textile industry. Enacted in 2000, AGOA offers duty-free access to over 1,800 products from eligible sub-Saharan African countries. The high-level meeting followed protectionist measures announced under the United States' revived 'America First' trade policy. Both sides agreed on the need for constructive engagement to balance Ghana's development goals with the expectations of foreign investors, and highlighted the importance of regulatory clarity and compliance with safety and environmental standards, a domestic news agency reported. The minister is scheduled to meet officials of the office of the US trade representative in the next few weeks to continue consultations. Fibre2Fashion News Desk (DS)

Da Nang to Target Luxury Tourism from Dubai's Elite
The direct route between Dubai and Da Nang, operated by Emirates – one of the world's most prestigious airlines – has officially launched. These flights from the Middle East, a fast-growth region, are expected to bring significant changes to the coastal city. Sustaining long-term appeal for this class of affluent travellers is now a central concern for Da Nang. The inaugural Emirates flight to Da Nang received a ceremonial welcome Potential from the Middle East Emirates, recently named a global leader in aviation by Forbes Travel Guide 2025, is the largest airline in the Middle East with over 4,100 flights each week from Dubai International Airport to more than 140 cities across 80 countries. The new direct route to Da Nang is a gateway for billionaires from one of the wealthiest regions on earth to access Vietnam's central coast, carrying immense spending power. It also facilitates the arrival of high-end travellers from Europe and the Americas, as Dubai ranks among the world's busiest international transit hubs. According to the Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism of Da Nang, as of April 2025, over 13,000 visitors from Middle Eastern countries had arrived in the city. This figure represents 0.73 percent of total international visitors, with most travellers coming from Iran, Israel and Turkey. With the new Emirates route now in operation, this number is expected to rise sharply, potentially adding trillions of Vietnamese dong in tourism revenue to the local economy. In recent years, Da Nang has made notable progress in diversifying into new high-potential markets. With a keen focus on growth, the city is extending its tourism outreach to areas including the Middle East and Central Asia. Charter flights to Da Nang have already launched from several cities, including Astana and Almaty in Kazakhstan, with seven airlines offering 10 weekly flights from April to October 2025. Centrum-Air Airways is also operating a weekly service from Tashkent, Uzbekistan. According to Tran Chi Cuong, Vice Chairman of the Da Nang People's Committee, the launch of the Emirates Dubai-Da Nang route reduces the travel gap between Da Nang and major global markets such as the Middle East, Europe, North America and Africa. It also helps to strengthen tourism development and opens new avenues for trade, investment, and cultural exchange. Da Nang appeals to affluent travellers To serve high-end tourists, a destination must offer diverse experiences and premium resorts. Travelers from the Middle East are increasingly seeking new places to explore beyond the typical Southeast Asian favourites like Thailand, Indonesia and Singapore. It's a prime opportunity for Da Nang, a city that combines natural beauty with world-class hospitality services, to welcome this affluent market. Sun World Ba Na Hills continually unveiling a diverse range of performances and attractions throughout the yea By May 2025, Da Nang had around 1,290 tourist accommodations, including 111 four and five-star hotels. InterContinental Danang Sun Peninsula Resort, Premier Village Danang Resort, Novotel Danang Premier Han River and Mercure Danang French Village Ba Na Hills, along with international brands such as Hyatt, Sheraton and Marriott which are favoured by Middle Eastern elites. The city boasts 16 tourist sites, with top destinations like Sun World Ba Na Hills and its iconic Golden Bridge, Da Nang Downtown and Than Tai Mountain Hot Spring Park drawing global attention. Golf tourism is another asset for Da Nang. The city features three international-standard golf courses. Ba Na Hills Golf Club, a masterpiece designed by golf legend Luke Donald and managed by IMG, which lauded as Asia's Best Golf Course five times. Da Nang is embracing Halal tourism, to make Middle Eastern guests feel at home. This travel model respects the religious and cultural practices of Muslim travellers, has become a core part to serve this market. Currently, the city has nearly 30 restaurants and eateries offering Halal-certified or Muslim-friendly cuisine. Among them, Halal Indrapura and Bharata Restaurant at Sun World Ba Na Hills, have received official Halal certification. Nguyen Vu Quynh Anh, Deputy CEO of Sun Group and CEO of Sun Hospitality & Entertainment Group, said, 'In addition to high-end services, it is the understanding of culture and the ability to offer culturally refined experiences that allow us to fully meet the needs of these highly discerning guests.' By establishing itself on the Emirates flight map, Da Nang has taken a strategic step forward in tapping into the Middle Eastern tourism market. This new air route is not only a catalyst for tourism growth but also a gateway for expanding trade, investment and cultural cooperation, said Truong Thi Hong Hanh, Director of the Da Nang Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism.

VinFast VF7 First Drive Impressions: Can this XEV 9e rival disrupt the segment?
The VinFast VF7 is all set to arrive in India later this year as the brand's maiden offering Notify me For Vietnamese carmaker VinFast, India is a major hub of growth it plans to tap into. The brand showcased its range at the 2025 Bharat Mobility Global Expo earlier this year, and we now had the opportunity to head to its home market, Vietnam, to try out the first products scheduled to arrive soon. The VinFast VF7 will be the brand's maiden offering, promising a premium experience while taking on highly competitive offerings. Here are our first impressions from a short drive at the automaker's test track at its manufacturing facility. VinFast VF7: What is it? The VF7 sits in the middle of the brand's global lineup. It's positioned above the VF6, which will also come to India this year, and sits below the VF8 and VF9 that are sold in developed markets. VinFast says the VF7 would help the brand position itself as a premium player in India, competing in the midsize electric SUV segment against the BYD Atto 3, Mahindra XEV 9e, Tata Harrier EV, and the like. VinFast VF7: Design The design language is conservative and gets the familiar VinFast styling shared across the automaker's range. The front sports the V-themed LED DRLs with split projector lens headlamps. There's a two-part large air intake in the front bumper, which lends a sporty look. The bonnet gets muscular haunches that add more visual heft to the front. The profile has a sharp appearance with the receding roofline and a raised shoulder line that comes together rather well. I do like the styling around the C-pillar, which helps reduce the visual bulk, while 19-inch aero wheels fill the wheel arches well. The raked rear windscreen further brings out the sporty look, followed by the V-themed lights running across the width of the vehicle, which aren't connected, and run separately from the vertically stacked LED taillights. The rear gets an extra dose of cuts and creases, all intended for a sporty look The receding roofline and raked rear windscreen add a sharp look to the SUV. The ground clearance measures 190 mm, plenty to tackle the unpredictable roads in India Is the VF7 striking? Yes. It has elements that do come out well, including the muscular touch on the bonnet, the flush door handles, and the raked rear windscreen. We sampled the pre-production prototypes for India in the right-hand drive guise. The build quality appears decent, but there could be improvements in terms of panel gaps, as well as the overall fit and finish. The cabin gets a minimalist approach. There's no digital console, but you get a head-up display, whereas most of the controls are integrated into the 12.9-inch touchscreen infotainment system VinFast VF7: Interior With a wheelbase spanning 2,840 mm, it's the most spacious on the inside, with plenty of room at the front and rear. The seats are plush with a generous dose of leather upholstery running across the cabin. The interior is finished in a dual-tone black and tan theme with the soft-touch materials running across the dashboard, armrests, door pads, and more. In effect, it also helps mask the dark and basic plastics tucked underneath. Step into the cabin, and the first thing you notice is its minimalist approach. The multi-function, flat-bottom steering wheel is compact and takes a while getting used to, especially when compared to the overall size of the car. But what stands out is the lack of a conventional instrument console. Instead, VinFast offers a Head-Up Display (HUD) as standard that promises to minimise distractions, while giving you all the necessary information at a glance. The HUD is customisable and can go from giving out just the speed to directions. It takes a while getting used to, but I'm genuinely curious about what the masses will think of it. The rear seat is spacious with plenty of room for all three occupants on the VF7. The fixed glass roof adds to the roomy feel, while the seats come with a reclining function further making it a comfortable experience Move to the rear, and the spacious seats welcome you with plenty of legroom. The seats come with a reclining function, and there are AC vents with Type-C charging ports for added convenience. Five will be able to sit comfortably in the second row of the VF7, although you do sit with a slight knees-up position, given the battery rests below the floorboard, a common trait with EVs. What also adds to the sense of space is the fixed glass roof on the electric SUV that extends end-to-end on the roof. This should help the cabin feel roomier, especially for those who find the receding shoulder line to be claustrophobic. That said, the VF7 does not get a fabric cover for the moonroof, which is a concern for the Indian market. While the vehicles can be heavily tinted in Vietnam, India does not have that provision, and we need the fabric cover to keep the heat at bay. VinFast tells us that the brand is devising a fabric cover as an accessory for India, instead of a motorised unit seen on other vehicles with a panoramic sunroof. Look closer, and the quality levels leave a bit to be desired on the VF7. The plastics feel sturdy but never premium, and that remains a pain point in an otherwise spacious car. The boot capacity measures a healthy 537 litres, which is expandable to a massive 1,576 litres with the rear seats folded. The toggle switches essentially are individual drive selectors. You also get three driving modes - Eco, Normal and Sport, as well as regen modes to enhance battery life VinFast VF7: Features Compensating for the lack of a console is the large touchscreen infotainment system. The 12.9-inch unit is angled towards the driver and is divided into two parts. The smaller section on the right essentially gives you all the tell-tale information as a digital console would, including the speed, range, battery health, and safety warnings, while the left side provides access to nearly all other features. The minimalist cabin translates to nearly all major functions being integrated into the screen, right from the HVAC unit to the outside rear-view mirror adjustments. The screen itself is easy to use, and we didn't find any trouble concerning latency. The icons on the screen could be bigger for better access, especially when operating on the move. VinFast says the UI has been developed in-house and integrates everything from maps to a pet mode, and even finding the nearest charging station. Keeping up with the theme, you find five toggle switches just below the air-con vents on the centre console. The five switches are essentially gear selectors - P, D, R and N, while the fifth switch is customisable to what can be a shortcut button. The default setting makes it a drive mode selector, allowing you to switch between Eco, Normal, and sport. Other feature highlights include electrically adjustable driver's seat, ventilated front seats, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, dual-zone climate control, and more. The automaker has added vegan leather upholstery and 1-litre bottle holders, which have been specially developed for India. On the safety front, the SUV comes with Level 2 ADAS, seven airbags, TPMS, a 360-degree camera system, and more. VinFast says the VF7 and VF6 will come with voice commands in Hindi at a later stage via over-the-air (OTA) updates. The company is also working on adding regional languages. VinFast VF7: Battery & Range Powering the VF7 is a big 75 kWh battery pack (70.8 kWh usable capacity) running on the Lithium-Iron-Phosphate (LFP) chemistry. This has been specifically developed for India, switching from the NMC chemistry seen in other markets. VinFast says this should help with the varied temperatures across the country, as well as offer a longer shelf life. The battery pack promises a range of 431 km (WLTP) on a single charge. We will have to wait for the MIDC range figures for the India-spec model. The SUV is expected to come with a 7.2 kW AC charger. The VF7 is spirited in the Plus AWD variant that gets dual motors churning out 349 bhp and 500 Nm of peak torque with 0-100 kmph coming up in 5.8 seconds VinFast VF7: Performance The VF7 will arrive in two trims - the VF7 Plus and VF7 Plus AWD. We drove the latter on VinFast's test track at its manufacturing facility in Haiphong, Vietnam, allowing us more acceleration opportunities. The AWD variant comes with a dual motor setup churning out 349 bhp and 500 Nm of peak torque, as opposed to the VF7 Plus with the single e-motor that develops 201 bhp and 310 Nm. The AWD version is the way to go if power is what you seek. The VF7 accelerates and is quite quick for its size. The electric SUV can sprint from 0-100 kmph in 5.8 seconds, giving you a proper kick in the seat. In contrast, the single motor variant takes 9.5 seconds to do the same run. Rolling acceleration is fantastic, and the VF7 certainly feels sporty when it comes to straight-line speed. You will find torque steer under hard acceleration, with the steering wheel beginning to shudder. Much of the road noise translates into the cabin at high speeds, something which VinFast says will be improved upon by the time the cars come to India. The SUV also comes with regen modes, which worked without being intrusive in our limited time with the car. Bodyroll is well contained while the independent suspension setup promises a comfy ride on the VF7 VinFast VF7: Handling & Braking The VF7 offered a rather dynamic experience around the test track in our limited time with the car. Bodyroll is well contained but will creep in if you get enthusiastic. The steering wheel weighs up nicely, especially when moving up to Sport mode. Straight-line stability is impressive, and the SUV urges you to floor the pedal, which is always a good thing. The SUV gets an independent suspension setup, which has been tuned to be on the softer side. We can't talk about the ride quality just yet, but expect it to be comfy. Braking feels progressive on the VF7 with the ADAS kicking in at the slightest lane change. The VinFast VF7 is a promising offering for India that delivers in performance and an exhaustive list of features. A competitive pricing will be crucial for its success VinFast VF7: Verdict VinFast has its work cut out, especially when it comes to after-sales, dealer network, and charging infrastructure - all aspects the brand says it is proactively working on. Both the VF6 and VF7 will be locally assembled in India at the automaker's upcoming facility in the Toothukudi, Tamil Nadu, which will have an initial production capacity of 50,000 units. VinFast offers a seven-year battery and vehicle warranty in most markets, which is likely to be the case in India as well. The automaker is coming to India with a 360-plan covering all bases, including third-party workshops, buyback offers, lease options and more. The company will also set up its charging infrastructure, which it dominates in its home market, Vietnam, but is likely to partner with existing players in India first. Bookings will begin later this month, while production should commence around July or August this year. Deliveries will commence right in time for the festive season around September. The VF7 is entering a segment that has some formidable Indian players with more on the way. For VinFast, then, the VF7 seems like a solid choice to dig its feet into the competitive EV landscape in the country and establish a strong foothold. However, it all boils down to the pricing of the VF7, which will be a key decider on how the brand fares in India. First Published Date: 10 Jun 2025, 11:58 AM IST
