Algiers (VNA) - Vietnamese goods are gaining international attention at the 56th Algiers International Fair (FIA 2025), held from June 23–28 in Algeria's capital.
Organised by the Vietnamese Embassy and Trade Office, Vietnam's national booth showcases catalogues and product samples from over 30 Vietnamese companies, spanning key sectors such as agriculture, seafood, food and beverages, footwear, textiles, furniture, plastics, construction materials, and industrial machinery.
Of special interest this year are four Vietnamese businesses that directly shipped processed food products, including beverages, confectionery, and jelly which drew notable attention from both local and international visitors.
Vietnamese Ambassador to Algeria Tran Quoc Khanh emphasised that Vietnam’s participation in the fair is not only to promote high-quality products but also to showcase the country’s image, culture, and tourism to international friends. He expressed his delight at the continued strong interest from African and European partners in the Vietnamese booth.
