Before the opening ceremony, a delegation from the MOIT met with Lotte Mart’s International Business Division to discuss ways to expand the presence of Vietnamese products in the RoK and other markets.
Nguyen Thao Hien, deputy head of the ministry’s Department of Foreign Market Development and Multilateral Trade, said the ministry is committed to helping Vietnamese businesses expand overseas and participate more deeply in international distribution networks.
She commended Lotte Mart’s proactive efforts and called on the retailer to continue promoting high-quality Vietnamese products by expanding their presence on its shelves in the RoK and other markets worldwide.
A representative of Lotte Mart said Vietnamese goods have considerable room for growth in the RoK. Closer cooperation in product sourcing and brand promotion will help Vietnamese products strengthen their position in the market./.
