At the exposition, an array of high quality Made-in-Vietnam products are featured in more than 200 stalls including food, plastics, garment and textiles, footwear, plastics, handicrafts, cosmetics, and interior decoration items.

The event has attracted a great number of widely recognized Vietnamese brand names including Vinamik, Vissan, Cadivi, Vifon, DuyTan Plastics, and Vi Hung Plastics.

Addressing the opening ceremony, Cambodian Acting Minister of Commerce Kem Sithan noted that Cambodia considers Vietnam its most important trading partner in the region, appending that bilateral trade has increased considerably over the years from over US$2.8 billion in 2011 to more than US$3.4 billion in 2013.

He expressed his hope that the figure will continue to rise this year, spurring economic development in both nations and bolstering their long-term friendship.

The five-day fair, organised by Investment and Trade Promotion Centre (ITPC), is also expected to help promote tourism activities between the two countries.

A series of seminars on investment promotion and market surveys are being held to connect Vietnamese and Cambodian businesses and seek foreign distributors.
