Vietnam’s capital city of Hanoi and relevant ministries will co-organize an international trade fair (Hanoi Expo 2007) at the Vietnam Exhibition-Fair Centre from October 8-13, said the municipal Trade Promotion Center.
Around 280 enterprises from member countries of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) will showcase footwear, handicrafts, farm produce, apparels, cosmetics and services at nearly 400 booths.
The fair themed “ASEAN capitals' active enterprises in the global economy” is an opportunity for ASEAN businesses to promote their products' trademarks and services.
During the six-day event, the “Bangkok-Thailand Week in Hanoi” and the presentation of the “Thang Long Cup” to 50 outstanding businesses will also be held, said Vice Director of the Hanoi Trade Department Nguyen Thi Nhu Mai.
In the first nine months of this year, Hanoi was estimated to have posted on-year export growth of 20.6 per cent to reach US$3.1 billion and imported US$10.7 billion worth goods, up 17.8 per cent on-year.
The city targets to rake in US$6.5 billion from exports in 2010 and obtain an annual export growth of up to 20 per cent during the 2006-2010 period. (Vietnam & World Economy)
