In an effort to stimulate US$5 billion in trade between Cambodia and
Vietnam by 2015, the Vietnamese Trade Fair will be held at the Diamond Island
Convention and Exhibition Centre from September 21 to 25.
Cambodia’s Prime Minister Hun Sen
and Vietnam’s Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung made the pledge during the third
conference on Cambodia-Vietnam Investment and Trade in Kien Giang Province,
Vietnam, in late June, in an effort to raise bilateral trade to $5 billion by
2015.
Tran Tu, trade attaché from the
Vietnam Trade Office in Cambodia, said the trade fair will be organised by the
Center of Exhibition and Trade Promotion of Army (CETPA), Ministry of Defence
of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam.
The annual event is part of the
framework of Vietnam’s national foreign trade promotion.
Tran Tu said there will be about
150 companies taking part in the event with the total number of standard booths
at 250.
“Despite recent economic
difficulties in Vietnam and Cambodia, the trade fair’s size is similar to last
year’s because Vietnamese enterprises hope to sell more products, goods and
services to the neighbouring market of Cambodia,” he said.
Cambodia’s total exports to
Vietnam rose by 10.6 per cent to $329,596,129 in the first seven months of the
year, compared to $283,649,387 for the same period in 2011.
The total imports from Vietnam
went up by 23.67 per cent, totaling $1,631,606,330.
