Hanoi (VNA) – Deputy Prime Minister Bui Thanh Son has demanded that those displayed at the Autumn Fair 2025, scheduled to open in Hanoi on October 26 and run through November 4, must be outstanding products meeting rigorous quality controls.

Deputy Minister of Industry and Trade Nguyen Sinh Nhat Tan reported at a meeting in Hanoi on October 12 that registrations for about 3,000 booths from more than 2,500 organisations and businesses have been logged, basically hitting targets.

The fair itself promises a vast panorama, encompassing heavy and light industries, cultural industries, science-technology, innovation, agriculture, food processing, services, trade and consumer goods. Every city and province across Vietnam has secured its allocated space and is refining booth designs and setups to highlight local strengths on schedule.

Organisers will stage 10 thematic conferences and online export forums featuring giants like Amazon and Alibaba. The event will incorporate fundraising for storm- and flood-ravaged communities in northern and central Vietnam.

Set to be Vietnam’s biggest-ever fair, the Autumn Fair 2025 will pack about 3,000 booths into the 100,000-sq.m Vietnam Exposition Centre in suburban Dong Anh commune, the nation’s largest and most modern venue, drawing all 34 cities and provinces, ministries, agencies, major state-owned corporations, private firms, domestic and foreign companies.

It is envisioned as a focal hub to spur domestic consumption, rev up production and trade, expand exports-imports, and pull in hordes of businesses and shoppers, with officials eyeing it as a driver to propel economic growth beyond 8% in 2025 and pave way for double-digit expansion in subsequent years./.
