An investment, tourism and trade fair is currently underway at the Tinh Bien International Border Gate in the Mekong delta province of An Giang, attracting a large number of Cambodian businesses.
At the opening of the fair on May 14, Deputy Minister of Industry and Trade Nguyen Thanh Bien said that the event along with a number of trade promotions, aims to help Vietnamese businesses increase their market share in Cambodia.
He expressed his hope that the fair running till May 19 will assist businesses in the Mekong delta to connect with neighbouring areas, especially Ho Chi Minh City, to stimulate the region’s development.
More than 200 Vietnamese and Cambodian businesses are exhibiting their products in 500 pavilions, with goods ranging from farm products, seafood, machinery, chemicals, construction materials and consumer items to furniture and handicrafts.
Taking part in the fair are businesses, coming from the Mekong delta and also from the Central Highlands and Ho Chi Minh City.
Home to several international and national border crossings, An Giang is a gateway for farmers from the Mekong delta to reach other markets in the region and promises to become a busy trade zone in the future.
