The first Autumn Fair 2025 concluded on the evening of November 3 at the Vietnam National Exhibition Center, following 10 days of diverse activities on the largest scale ever in Vietnam, spanning 130,000 m² with 3,000 standard booths and hosting 2,500 domestic and international enterprises and organizations.

Speaking at the closing ceremony, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh affirmed that the first Autumn Fair 2025 serves as an effective channel to stimulate domestic consumption, a key driver for production and trade, a positive way to rejuvenate traditional growth engines, and a dynamic bridge connecting international trade cooperation, providing momentum for the domestic market in the digital era.

“The fair has become a festival of creative technology and cultural arts, highlighting a core value: economic development must go hand in hand with cultural, social, and human development. Beyond commercial transactions, the fair creates a multidimensional space where modern technology blends with traditional cultural values. It offers a cross-Vietnam experience, vividly showing the vitality of Vietnamese goods. Each booth represents a cultural piece, a distinctive story of Vietnam’s regions and people, featuring industrial and high-tech products, green energy solutions, cultural and artistic items, and unique local specialties, while providing an engaging shopping and entertainment experience with cultural and culinary festivals,” thte Government leader said.

Acknowledging and hailing the dedication, responsibility, and creativity of ministries, central and local authorities, the business community, and the public in making the fair a success, the PM also expressed thanks to generous donors supporting flood-hit people through the “Autumn of Hope” program. Reflecting the spirit of “business development coupled with social responsibility,” fundraising and contributions have reached VND 316 billion to date. He emphasized that this spirit of compassion embodies the nation’s treasured tradition of solidarity and mutual support, forming a foundation and internal strength for sustainable national development.

“In recent days, people in central provinces have struggled against natural disasters and floods, suffering heavy losses in lives and property. Ahead lies Typhoon Kalmaegi, the 13th in the East Sea. Guided by the tradition of mutual aid, each person contributes according to their ability, whether time, effort, or resources, wherever feasible,” the PM said, while calling on businesses, and citizens nationwide to continue supporting and sharing with affected communities, helping them remain resilient, restore livelihoods, and resume production promptly.

Reflecting on the success of the first Autumn Fair 2025, PM Chinh instructed the Ministry of Industry and Trade to proactively develop a professional and modern model for an annual Autumn Fair and to swiftly propose plans for the first Spring Fair 2026. Industry associations and the business community are encouraged to continue innovating and striving to assert the value of Vietnamese brands, while international partners and organizations remain engaged in trade, investment, technology transfer, human resource training, and sustainable development.

The Government chief expressed confidence that the fair’s success not only marks a milestone in economic and cultural events but also lays the groundwork for a new journey-one of connection, innovation, cooperation, and development, realizing the aspiration of a strong, prosperous, civilized, and happy Vietnam in the new era.
