Dear Minister,

I have the honour to acknowledge receipt of your letter of this date, which reads as follows:

“In connection with the signing on this date of the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (the “Agreement"), I have the honour to confirm that the Government of the Socialist Republic of Viet Nam (“Viet Nam”) and the Government of Brunei Darussalam share common understanding on the relationship between Chapter 19 (Labour) and Chapter 28 (Dispute Settlement) of the Agreement as follows:

1. From the date of entry into force of the Agreement for Viet Nam, Viet Nam shall fully implement the obligations of Chapter 19 (Labour).

2. If Brunei Darussalam seeks recourse to dispute settlement under Chapter 28 (Dispute Settlement) with respect to any measure that is inconsistent with the obligations of Chapter 19 (Labour), Brunei Darussalam shall refrain from seeking to suspend benefits stipulated in Article 28.20 under Chapter 28 (Dispute Settlement) for a period of three years after the date of entry into force of the Agreement for Viet Nam.

3. If Brunei Darussalam seeks recourse to dispute settlement under Chapter 28 (Dispute Settlement) with respect to any measure that is inconsistent with the obligations of paragraph 1(a) of Article 19.3, Brunei Darussalam shall refrain from seeking to suspend benefits stipulated in Article 28.20 under Chapter 28 (Dispute Settlement) for a period of five years after the date of entry into force of the Agreement for Viet Nam

4 Pursuant to paragraph 2 of Article 19.12 (Labour Council), after the fifth anniversary and before the seventh anniversary of the date of entry into force of the Agreement for Viet Nam, any issues arising from paragraph 3 shall be reviewed in accordance with Article 19.12 (Labour Council) of Chapter 19 (Labour). This is without prejudice to the rights and obligations of both Parties under the Agreement.
