While announcing the fair in Hanoi on March 19, Commercial and Economic Counsellor at the Chinese Embassy, Hu Suo Jin, said Vietnam is one of the fastest growing economies in the region and a large trading partner of China .

Hu applauded the participation of Vietnamese businesses, especially small- and medium-size enterprises, saying this would be an opportunity and a good proving ground for companies from the two countries to expand trade relations.

This view was shared by Deputy Director of the Ministry of Industry and Trade’s Trade Promotion Agency Do Xuan Ha, who said that the participation in the fair would help Vietnamese producers and importers approach new consumption and business trends of nations worldwide.
