Bangkok (VNA) - A trade promotion expo featuring more than 150 Vietnamese goods of high quality is taking place in Thailand's Udon Thani province from June 24 to 27 as part of activities marking the 45th anniversary of diplomatic relations between the two countries.

The Vietnamese Goods Week in Thailand - Udon Thani 2021 themed "A Flavour of Vietnam" is being participated by more than 20 Vietnamese firms, including Dalat Hasfarm, which sells fresh flowers and plants; Lam Dong Pharmaceutical JSC; Dong Xuan knitting company; Hong Ha and Thien Long stationery companies.

As part of the event at the Central Plaza in Udon Thani, fruits imported from Vietnam by the Central Group like lychee, dragon fruit, and sweet potato, are on display. Notably, close to 200kg of lychees prepared by the organisers have sold out. Other stalls selling  traditional Vietnamese food like pho and spring roll are attracting many visitors.

Speaking at the opening ceremony on June 24, Vietnamese Trade Counsellor in Thailand Tran Thi Thanh My said the programme brings opportunities for Vietnamese companies to introduce their goods in Thailand and for Thai people to access made-in-Vietnam products.
She said the number of participating firms is limited due to COVID-19, expressing her belief that Vietnamese products on display will be favoured by Thai locals.

My hoped for more trade promotion events to take place in the time to come for increasing economic and commercial cooperation between the business communities, and people of Vietnam and Thailand.

Wanchai Janporn, Deputy Governor of Udon Thani, informed that his province houses the highest number of Vietnamese expatriates in Thailand, reflecting deep ties between locals and Vietnamese people. The official also highlighted his confidence in the success of the expo.

Emmananuel Couronne, Chief Merchandise Officer at Central Food Retail Group, said the Vietnamese Goods Week in Thailand is an important annual event of the Central Group, considering it a good chance for boosting Vietnam - Thailand relations and connecting their enterprises, serving Vietnamese and Thai consumers' demand.

The Central Group and its partners wish to play the role of a product promotion channel for Vietnamese goods in Thailand and in the world, he affirmed./.

Vietnam to diversify markets for agricultural products amid global trade shifts

According to the Ministry of Agriculture and Environment (MAE), Vietnam’s agricultural product exports are inevitably affected by disruptions in global supply chains and the imposition of unilateral, stringent tariff policies by major economies. Nonetheless, these challenges also present an opportunity for Vietnam to adjust its export strategy and focus more intently on emerging and high-potential markets.
