Hanoi goods on display in Moscow

This is the first time Hanoi introduces its products and services to Russian customers.

Lai Ngoc Doan from the Vietnam Embassy in Russia said the organizers hope that the event will help Russian customers find goods in line with their demands and Russian businesses grasp cooperation opportunities with Vietnamese partners.

The Free Trade Agreement (FTA) between Vietnam and the Eurasian Economic Union (EEU) which comes into effect on October 5 will offer an excellent chance for businesses from both sides to strengthen trade ties, Mr Doan said.

HITTPC Vice Director Nguyen Ngoc Tu highlighted the strength of leading businesses from Hanoi and Vietnam and goods on display at the week like heavy industrial products, processing food, clothes, and garment.

Iuri Morozov from the Moscow Chamber of Commerce and Industry (MCCI) said Russian customers are interested in Vietnam goods.

He added that the MCCI has coordinated with Vietnam businesses in Russia to hold conferences to link businesses between the two countries and between Hanoi and Moscow. Russian businesses showed their special attention to set up ties with Vietnamese partners.

He revealed that many businesses from Moscow and neighbouring provinces like Tver, Yaroslav have registered to attend a trade conference within the framework of the event.
