HCM CITY (Biz Hub) — Lazada Viet Nam will launch its biggest sale of the year with discounts of up to 50 per cent on www.lazada.vn, the country's largest online shopping website.

The sale takes place from Wednesday (Nov 11) until December 12. The programme has support from the Viet Nam E-Commerce and Information Technology Agency, Viet Nam E-Commerce Association, the Department of Industry and Trade in HCM City, 20 brand names and 40 delivery partners as well as banks.

The CEO of Lazada Viet Nam, Alexandre Dardy, said his company aimed to reach a record in sales during the month-long event.
