Hanoi (VNA) – The Vietnamese Consulate General in Mumbai coordinated with the Vietnam Trade Office in India to deploy a series of activities to boost trade promotion in the western Indian state of Maharashtra.
Their efforts included discussions with major Indian conglomerates such as Reliance, Tata Consultancy Services, and Sun Pharma to explore opportunities for economic, commercial and tourism cooperation between the two countries.
A key outcome was facilitating a collaboration between Vietnam Airlines, Vietravel and Sun Pharma to bring nearly 5,000 Sun Pharma employees on a vacation to Vietnam in late August 2024. This initiative not only benefits Sun Pharma and Vietnam's tourism industry but also strengthens economic ties between the two nations.
Sun Pharma is the world's fourth largest pharmaceutical conglomerate with a global revenue of 5.4 billion USD, operating 43 manufacturing facilities and supplying quality medicines to over 100 countries. This collaboration underscored Sun Pharma's confidence in Vietnam's tourism and represents a significant step forward in attracting Indian tourists to visit and explore the Vietnamese market./.
