(VOV) -The annual Thai Retail Fair kicked off in Hanoi on April 24 with over 100 leading Thai businesses showcasing their products in more than 120 stalls.
At the fair, taking place from April 24 – May 27, businesses are displaying their wares including food, beverages, fruits, household utensils, electrical appliances, garments and textiles, cosmetics, decorative articles, souvenirs, auto parts, vehicle and bicycle components.
The event provides companies a great opportunity to develop new business relationships and become more informed about the Vietnamese retail market,” said Pham Thi Hong Thanh, a senior official of the Ministry of Industry and Trade at the opening ceremony.
She said over the past seven years, the Thai retail fair in Hanoi has received a great amount of attention of local consumers, and Thai businesses have gradually found a firm foothold on the Vietnamese market.
The total import-export turnover between Vietnam and Thailand reached US$9.4 billion in 2013, up 10% compared to the same period last year. Both sides aim to raise the figure to US$15 billion by 2020.
Vietnam is now the second largest ASEAN trade partner and the ninth largest global trade partner of Thailand.
