About 150 Vietnamese enterprises are showcasing their products at 300 stalls of the Vietnam High-quality Products & Exports Fair 2008 in Cambodia from Sept 18 to 22 in Phnom Penh.
The annual event is a good chance for Vietnamese high-quality producers and Ho Chi Minh City’s exporters introduce and promote their products and seek more partners.
Many cultural exchange activities will take place during the five-day event, which was co-organized by the Ho Chi Minh City Investment and Trade Promotion Center (ITPC), Saigon Marketing newspaper and the Vietnam high-quality producers club.
Apart from the fair, the organizers will also hold market surveys in Phnom Penh, Siem Riep, Battambang, and Thailand’s northeastern area.
Bilateral trade between Vietnam and Cambodia is expected to reach US$2.45 billion in 2010 and will increase to US$7 billion in 2015.
The ambitious goal has been set as part of the Vietnamese Ministry of Trade (MoT)’s plan to accelerate trade and investment with its neighbors from now until 2015 which was announced at a meeting on the issue in Ho Chi Minh City May 4.
This year, bilateral trade between Vietnam and Cambodia is forecast to surpass US$1.5 billion, up from US$1.2 billion last year, Vietnam News Agency quoted Vietnam Trade Counselor to Cambodia, Le Bien Cuong as saying. (Pioneer, VNA)
