A Vietnam-China agriculture and handicrafts fair will be held in Hanoi from Dec. 1-6, expected to attract 400 exhibitors, including those from ASEAN countries.

Vice Chairman of the Vietnam Cooperative Alliance Nguyen Xuan Hien said at a press briefing on Nov. 12 that the fair will offer a chance for domestic cooperatives and enterprises to promote their products and boost trade, investment and tourism between Vietnam and China as well as with regional countries.

During the fair, there will be a meeting on the trading of cassava starch, a seminar on the need for agricultural supplies and consumption of agricultural and handicraft products in Vietnam and China, talks on tariff and border trade between Vietnam and China’s Guangxi province, and trade promotion activities and exchanges between Vietnamese and Chinese cooperatives and economic organisations./.
