“As companies face unprecedented challenges and strive to diversify their supply chains, this event becomes the critical platform where global buyers and top-tier manufacturers from Việt Nam and Asia come together to forge transformative partnerships.

“It is an unparalleled opportunity to secure the future of international trade, drive innovation, and unlock new avenues for growth.”

Last year, the exhibition attracted thousands of international buyers and delivered highly positive outcomes for participating companies, she said.

With its support for local industries, it provides opportunities to expand Việt Nam’s global reach and connect with industry partners, helping textile firms grow their international business, she added.
