I found one paragraph noteworthy in Boeing and Vietnam Airlines' press release.
"At the event, the two companies also signed a memorandum of collaboration toward the goal of Vietnam Airlines' fleet replacement and expansion. Boeing has offered the airline eight 787-10 Dreamliners and eight 777-8Xs, which the airline acknowledged. Boeing and Vietnam Airlines will work together and report to government authorities before coming to official cooperation agreements in the future."
I found it surprising that an ongoing commercial discussion was mentioned in a press release about a first delivery. Yet, Boeing's offer does not seem to have been accepted so far ...
The parties also paid lip service to government rule, given the presence of a representative of the communist party. I cannot help smiling at the irony of Boeing having to kowtow to him !
