(VOV) – China’s Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region is displaying its distinctive products at an exhibition which opened in Hanoi on June 11.
It is particularly marketing items of its strength such as mechanical devices, vehicles, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and mineral ores.
In her opening speech, Vietnamese Deputy Minister of Industry and Trade Ho Thi Kim Thoa noted China is Vietnam’s big trading partner, with two-way trade value last year reaching more than US$41 billion.
Vietnam’s trade exchanges with Guangxi alone accounted for one fourth of the total value, and Vietnam has retained its leading position in trading with Guangxi for the past 14 consecutive years.
Since 2004 the exhibition has become a key trade and investment promotion activity, helping boost trade exchanges between the business communities of Vietnam and China, and Guangxi in particular, Thoa stressed.
This year’s exhibition, the 8th of its kind, offers a great chance for the two business circles to share experience in developing new technologies, seek partnerships, and sign contracts, aiming to raise Vietnam-China trade value to US$60 billion by 2015, she said.
Zhang Xiaoqin, Vice Governor of the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, emphasised that Guangxi and Vietnam have great potential for cooperation and that the 2013 Guangxi products exhibition will promote mutual understanding between the two sides’ businesses.
The exhibition lasts three days.
