Border fair promotes Vietnam-Laos trade exchange
A week-long border trade fair
in the northwestern province of Son La to promote trade and
tourism exchanges with Laos ended on October 23, attracting tens of
thousands of visitors.
More than 100 businesses from Son La
and Hoa Binh provinces, Hai Phong city and Laos’ Houaphanh and
Oudomxay provinces brought to the fair a wide range of products from
garment, electronic products, household goods, foodstuff to farming
tools and telecommunications services.
The event was a good
venue for the two sides’ enterprises to bolster trade promotion, market
expansion and the linkage between them and local retailers.
The fair also helped residents in the border areas access quality goods at reasonable prices.
During the fair, local people also had chances to introduce their
agricultural and brocade products as well as boost the export of their
specialties to the Lao market.-VNA
