The Vietnamese Days in China programme taking place from August 29-September 3 is to offer more opportunities for Vietnamese firms to set up and increase investment and cooperative ties with major groups from China and other Asian countries.

The programme, held by the Vietnam Chamber of Commerce and Industry (VCCI), also aims to promote the national image and to strengthen comprehensive political, diplomatic, cultural and economic ties between Vietnam and China.

The event includes a Vietnam-China economic forum, a trade and investment forum, a business-to-business meeting and a photographic exhibition called “ Vietnam – its land and people”.

The event is attended by Vietnamese Minister of Culture, Sports and Tourism, Hoang Anh Tuan and leaders from Vietnamese ministries, departments and provinces as well as Chinese businesses operating successfully in Vietnam.

Representatives from more than 100 Vietnamese businesses also take part in the event to conduct research into the market, and seek partners to expand their business.

A number of cooperation agreements and economic contracts are expected to be signed during the programme./.
