Hanoi (VNA) – The Autumn Fair 2025, Vietnam’s largest-ever fair to be held, is expected to help stimulate consumption, boost production and business, expand foreign trade, and contribute to achieving this year's growth target of over 8%.

Speaking at a press conference on October 14, Deputy Minister of Industry and Trade Nguyen Sinh Nhat Tan, head of the organising board, stated that the fair, taking place at the Vietnam Exposition Centre in Hanoi from October 25 to November 4, is a national-scale economic and cultural event held by the Ministry of Industry and Trade, in collaboration with the Ministry of Culture, Sports, and Tourism, the People's Committee of Hanoi, along with various ministries, agencies, and localities under the Prime Minister's direction.

With a total exhibition area of over 130,000sq.m, five thematic zones, and more than 3,000 booths, the fair will feature participation from all 34 provinces and cities, various ministries and central agencies, along with thousands of businesses, cooperatives, and large corporations from Vietnam. It also attracts numerous international partners and businesses coming to showcase their products and seek cooperation opportunities.

The fair is hoped to draw about 500,000 visitors per day, reflecting the strong appeal of a nationally and regionally significant event. Therefore, it is expected to become a prominent highlight in a series of economic and trade promotion events of Vietnam this year.

According to the Vietnam Trade Promotion Agency under the Ministry of Industry and Trade, a successful Autumn Fair 2025 will lay a stepping stone for establishing an annual four-season fair series – “Spring – Summer – Autumn – Winter”, becoming an important destination for trade promotion, consumption stimulation, and cultural industry development in the country.

In addition to indoor exhibition spaces, the organising board will also offer a wide range of lively outdoor activities such as games, concerts, art performances, fashion shows, and cultural exchanges./.
