Minh Long is honoured to be one of the eight title sponsors of this event. It also has the honour of providing premium tableware items for the official receptions and state banquets and presenting its products as national gifts to the 21 leaders.

In 2006, when the event was held in Ha Noi, the APEC Cup by Minh Long was chosen as the official gift by the Government to give to each world leader attending the event.

Over the years Minh Long has been honoured many times with the responsibility of giving gifts to dignitaries from over 40 countries and displaying items at major events such as the National Congress of the Communist Party, the 1000th anniversary of the Royal City – Ha Noi, ASEAN Summit, and others.
