Vietnam attends international food expo in Hong Kong (China)

ABO/NDO- Vietnamese enterprises are showcasing their products at the 34th Food Expo which kicked off in Hong Kong (China) on August 15.

There are some thematic events held on this occasion, including Beauty and Wellness Expo, Home Delights Expo, Hong Kong International Tea Fair, and Food Expo PRO, attracting some 1,860 exhibitors from 30 countries and territories.

The expo offers an opportunity for Vietnamese enterprises to promote their products to international consumers, particularly those in Hong Kong.

The booths of the Vietnam Trade Office in Hong Kong and businesses display many Vietnamese specialties, such as renowned ST25 rice, fish sauce, processed vegetables and fruits, canned fruits, frozen seafood, cashew products, bird's nest drinks, and confectionery.

Vietnamese Consul General in Hong Kong Le Duc Hanh said the economic and trade relations between Vietnam and Hong Kong have been developing strongly in recent years, particularly in the first half of this year as Hong Kong became the second largest investor in Vietnam.

Recalling the visit to Vietnam by Chief Executive of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (China) John Lee Ka-chiu from July 31 to August 2, she said it has created many favourable premises for the trade and investment relations to advance to a new height, adding Vietnamese enterprises are increasingly interested in bringing their products to the world, and Hong Kong is a very suitable place for them to achieve this goal.

Vu Thi Thuy, head of the Vietnam Trade Office in Hong Kong, said the number of Vietnamese booths at the expo this year is higher than previous editions. Notably, Vietnamese enterprises pay attention to not only product quality but also packaging and design, she said. On the first day of the expo, Vietnamese products received positive feedback from Hong Kong and international customers.

Organisers expect the number of visitors to the event this year will exceed the 480,000 recorded last year.
