3,000 Vietnamese entrepreneurs to take part in Chinese fair

Nearly 3,000 Vietnamese entrepreneurs will participate in the 107th China Import-Export Fair, scheduled to take place in Guangzhou from April 15 to May 5.

While announcing the fair in Hanoi on March 19, the Commercial and Economic Counsellor at the Chinese Embassy, Hu Suo Jin, said Vietnam is one of the fastest growing economies in the region and a large trading partner of China.

Hu applauded the participation of Vietnamese businesses, especially small-and medium-sized enterprises, saying this would be an opportunity and a good ground for companies from the two countries to expand trade relations.

This view was shared by Deputy Director of the Ministry of Industry and Trade’s Trade Promotion Agency Do Xuan Ha, who said that the participation in the fair would help Vietnamese producers and importers approach new consumption and business trends of nations worldwide.

The fair attracts up to 200,000 businesspeople each year. In 2009, almost 5,000 Vietnamese entrepreneurs took part in the event, where they signed contracts worth a total of US$375 million.
