Hanoi (VNA) – The Hanoi Shopping Festival 2025 opened on December 25 evening at the Culture, Information and Sports Centre on Cao Lo Street, Dong Anh commune.
Speaking at the opening ceremony, Deputy Director of the Hanoi Department of Industry and Trade Nguyen The Hiep said the festival is expected to stimulate the circulation of goods, enhance the competitiveness of businesses and honour the value of Vietnamese products. It also contributes to the effective implementation of the campaign “Vietnamese people prioritise Vietnamese goods.”
The festival serves as an important bridge between producers and consumers, helping local businesses reach new customers and fostering a healthy and civilised commercial environment. At the same time, it promotes the image of Dong Anh as a dynamic and friendly locality, Hiep noted.
