More than 1,000 co-operatives from 63 provinces and cities nationwide will take part in a trade promotion fair for co-operatives, slated to be held at Thong Nhat Park in Ha Noi from May 18-20.

They will showcase farm produce, seafood, fishery, industrial and service goods besides fine arts and handicrafts at nearly 400 booths, organisers said at a press conference to introduce the fair last week.

The forthcoming event will also attract the participation of 40 big businesses and about 100 delegates who are clients, partners and cooperatives from many countries and territories around the world such as South Korea, Singapore and Taiwan.

Nguyen Ngoc Bao, chairman of the Viet Nam Cooperative Alliance, described the fair as a good chance for Vietnamese cooperatives to advertise their products and services to domestic consumers and exchange business opportunities with foreign cooperatives and businesses. — VNS
