Dec 4 (Reuters) - Vietnamese shares reached decade-highs and topped Asia-Pacific with the highest price gains in November, bolstered by rising foreign interest during the month.
Foreigners were net buyers of about $500 million of shares in the country's stock market in November, the highest monthly purchases in at least seven years.
Singapore-listed Jardine Cycle & Carriage Ltd's JCYC.SI purchases of about $900 million in Vinamilk's shares VNM.HM was seen as a positive for Vietnamese markets, with government aiming to trim its stakes in more state-owned firms.
Vietnam will also kick off the sale of a majority stake in Sabeco SAB.HM , the country's biggest brewer, in December.
The Vietnam index .VNI rose more than 13 percent in November.
Hong Kong and Japanese shares rose more than 3 percent each in November.
Sri Lankan stocks led the losers with a fall of 3.11 percent, followed by China and Taiwan shares with declines of more than 2 percent.
South Korean, Malaysian, Thai, Philippine and Indian equities fell between 1 to 2 percent.
