East-West Economic Corridor trade fair gets underway

The 6-day fair showcases goods and services for about 20 key segments including electronics, information technology, furniture, interior décor, handicrafts, hotels, restaurants, food, fashion, clothing, footwear, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics and tourism, among others.

A key aspect this year is the addition of a workshop focused on developing the manufacturing supply chain within the EWEC and a conference on supply and demand links, said the organizers.

The event was first held in 2007 and has been held annually since 2012. It aims to assist EWEC countries (Myanmar, Thailand, Laos, and Vietnam) to promote their trade, investment, and tourism potential.
