Vietnam High-quality Products & Exports Fair to Open in Cambodia
The Ho Chi Minh City Investment and Trade Promotion Center (ITPC), Saigon Marketing newspaper and the Vietnam high-quality producers club will co-organize the Vietnam High-quality Products & Exports Fair 2008 in Cambodia from September 18 to 22 in Phnom Penh.
This will be a good chance for Vietnamese high-quality producers and Ho Chi Minh City’s exporters introduce and promote their products and seek more partners.
During the five-day event, many cultural exchange activities will take place.
Apart from the fair, the organizers will also hold market surveys in Phnom Penh, Siem Riep, Battambang, and Thailand’s northeastern area.
Bilateral trade between Vietnam and Cambodia is expected to reach US$2.45 billion in 2010 and will increase to US$7 billion in 2015.
The ambitious goal has been set as part of the Vietnamese Ministry of Industry and Trade (MoIT)’s plan to accelerate trade and investment with its neighbors from now until 2015 which was announced at a meeting on the issue in Ho Chi Minh City May 4.
In 2006, two-way trade reached US$940 million, up 35.6 per cent on-year, including US$770 million worth of Vietnam’s exports. (Vietnam Economic Times)
