HA NOI – The 26th Viet Nam International Trade Fair (Viet Nam Expo) opened today in Ha Noi with an aim of enhancing regional and international economic connectivity.

The event is hosted by the Ministry of Industry and Trade.

Over 500 enterprises from 14 domestic provinces and cities, as well as other countries and territories like India, China, South Korea, Laos, Cambodia and Australia, are showcasing their products at 600 booths.

Products on display include machinery, equipment, electronic devices and accessories, food and beverages, houseware and healthcare products.

The fair is expected to step up stronger connections between Vietnamese firms and their foreign counterparts in trade, investment and technological transfers, helping to boost the country’s export growth and luring more foreign investment.
It will also offer exhibitors a chance to learn about Viet Nam’s investment policies and tools for trade links.

Named the honourable country of this year’s Viet Nam Expo, Belarus will co-operate with Viet Nam to host a trade forum.

As scheduled, the Viet Nam export promotion forum will take place tomorrow morning for enterprises and trade managers to discuss export prospects and policies.

The fair will last until Saturday and is expected to attract over 30,000 visitors. -- VNS
