Bruno Jousselin, managing director of MM Mega Market Vietnam, said: “In ASEAN, Thailand is currently the largest trading partner of Viet Nam and Viet Nam is also the largest export partner of Thailand with two-way trade in 2020 reaching US$15.9 billion.

“As one of the leading modern distribution channels nation-wide, we aim to become a trade bridge between Viet Nam and Thailand, connecting supply chains and [enabling] cultural exchanges between the two countries. — VNS
