Speaking at the opening ceremony, Deputy Minister of Industry and Trade Do Thang
Hai stressed that the annual Vietnam Expo has become an important trade
promotion event for Vietnam’s industry and trade sectors, and gained
considerable prestige among domestic and international corporations.
The four-day event, themed “Vietnam Expo-Enhancing Regional & Global Economic
Links”, has featured 600 booths of 500 enterprises from 23 countries and
territories including Algeria, Cambodia, China, Cuba, Indonesia, the Republic of
Korea, Poland, and Russia.
Notably, a special pavilion run by the Vietnam Trade Promotion Agency plays an
important role in promoting investment in industrial development. Besides
updating enterprises on Vietnam’s business climate, it is introducing foreign
investors to eight key destinations for investments, such as Yen Bai, Hai Phong,
Hanoi, Thanh Hoa, Binh Thuan, Vinh Long, Dong Thap, and Kien Giang.
Meanwhile, the Vietnam-Korea Design Centre’s pavilion highlights the
significance of design in product development, and popularises high-quality
products with excellent designs, creating opportunities for local and foreign
firms look for partners.
An array of activities are scheduled in the framework of the Vietnam Expo 2019,
including a Vietnam-Russia business forum, a seminar on “Branding – A big step
for Small and Medium-sized Enterprises”, and business matching booths.
The expo, held at Hanoi International Exhibition Centre, expects to welcome over
15,000 visitors.
