MAPUTO Vietnamese goods such as coffee, tea, footwear, confectionery, household utensils, wooden furniture and handsets are in the spotlight at the 55th Maputo International Fair (FACIM) that opened in Maputo, the capital of Mozambique on Monday.
The goods are being showcased by several Vietnamese firms including those from the Ministry of National Defence, Sunhouse JSC, Long Hưng Co, and Movitel – a joint venture between Việt Nam’s Viettel Military Industry and Telecoms Group and SPI and Invespar companies of Mozambique.
According to the event's organisers, the fair is an opportunity for businesses to promote import and export co-operation, share experience in producing and processing agricultural products and consumer goods, and enhance ties in construction and mining.
During the event, Vietnamese Ambassador in Mozambique Lê Huy Hoàng introduced Vietnamese agricultural products and consumer goods to local enterprises and people.
