Vietnamese Products Showcased at Cambodian Fair
A trade fair opened in Cambodia’s Phnom Penh capital on November 1, attracting more than 150 Vietnamese businesses to showcase their products on nearly 300 stands.
On display at the Vietnam Trade Fair ’11 are farm products, technologies, electronic and electrical equipment, garments, building materials, pharmaceuticals and fine art and handicraft articles.
The organisation of such trade fairs has contributed to increasing trade and investment between the two countries, said Keo Soknay, Secretary of State of the Cambodian Ministry of Commerce, at the opening ceremony.
According to the Secretary of State, two-way trade value between Cambodia and Vietnam reached nearly US$1.83 billion in 2010, a year on year rise of 35 percent. The trade figure rose to US$2.07 billion in the period between January-September, 2011.
Cambodia considers Vietnam a strong trade partner and its presence in Cambodia will help boost trade and investment ties, as well as economic cooperation projects between the two countries, he said.
The fair will last through November 5.
