Jointly organised by Vietnam’s Ministry of Industry and Trade and Thai leading retail company Central Retail, the expo is promoting the culture, tourism, and specialties from the Mekong Delta region and Ho Chi Minh City. It is also popularising goods under the One Commune One Product (OCOP) programme from various Vietnamese localities. Simultaneously, it is offering opportunities for Vietnamese businesses to connect and engage in trade with retail distribution systems in Thailand.
Addressing the opening ceremony on August 16, Deputy Minister of Industry and Trade Do Thang Hai emphasised that in recent years, the Vietnamese government has facilitated the direct exports to distribution systems in various markets, including Thailand. The 2023 Vietnamese Goods Week in Thailand is expected to boost the positive growth of the nations’ trade via connecting hundreds of small- and medium-sized enterprises.
