Vietnam attends 39th edition of Havana International Trade Fair
VOV.VN - Dozens of local businesses displayed their advantageous products in the fields of agriculture, industry, and handicrafts at the 39th edition of the Havana International Trade Fair (FIHAV 39) which took place on November 8 in La Habana of Cuba.
The opening ceremony of the Vietnamese national pavilion at the event saw Hoang Minh Chien, deputy director of the Vietnam Trade Promotion Agency, emphasise that the nation is currently Cuba’s second largest trading partner in Asia.
He noted that the participation of Vietnamese firms at the function has contributed to strengthening ties with partners in the Cuban market, as well as giving a fresh impetus to the rebound in export turnover moving forward.
Chien assessed that not only Cuba, but also other Latin American and Caribbean countries, have been identified as potential markets for local goods as they have a high demand for some of Vietnam’s advantageous products.
He added that the entry of Vietnamese goods into the Cuban market will open up a wealth of opportunities for local businesses to make greater inroads into other markets throughout Latin America.
During this year's fair, the country's pavilion with 16 booths introduced agricultural products, processed foods, household appliances, construction materials, interior decoration - exterior, vaccines, and biological products.
FIHAV 39 represents the largest annual event in Latin America and the Caribbean.
