Mr. Ly Thanh Hai, the Director of Trung Nguyen’s business development in China, shared the company's current focus is on promoting café shops in China, having already established two large outlets in Shanghai last year and this year.

Hai emphasized: "In the near future, we plan to expand nationwide, aiming to open 1000 shops within the next 5 years. Alongside opening cafés, our upcoming plans involve introducing new energy coffee products beyond the current popular G7 product in China, reaching out to the entire Chinese consumer base."

Vietnam's participation in this Expo not only contributed to showcasing the nation's image in terms of economy, investment, and tourism but also presented an opportunity to fulfill economic goals, aligning with the Government's commitments to international economic integration.
