Vice Chairman of the municipal People’s Committee Tran Van Mien said that the fair offers a chance to promote trade, investment and tourism of the EWEC.
It is of significance for participating enterprises to seek partners, develop business and production and promote their products to consumers, he added.
The EWEC is an economic development programme initiated to promote the development and integration of four Southeast Asian countries: Myanmar, Thailand, Laos, and Vietnam. The concept was agreed upon in 1998 at the Ministerial Conference of the Greater Mekong Subregion (GMS), organised in Manila, the Philippines. The corridor became operational on December 12, 2006.
It was created based on a road stretching 1,450 km across Myanmar, Thailand, Laos and Vietnam, from Mawlamyine in Myanmar to Da Nang in Vietnam, and is one of the key economic corridors in the GMS, which aims at deepening integration and trade and investment links, and reducing poverty in the region.-VNA
