The 2017 Viet Nam-Ha Noi Fair will take place at the AEON Lake Town in Saitama, Japan, from June 5 to June 11.

Sixty-nine Vietnamese enterprises will display products related to garments, footwear, handicrafts and interior decoration, as well as gift items, processed farm products, national brand products and local specialties, at 50 booths at the fair.

In particular, the organisation board will also arrange eight kiosks displaying promotional publications, local specialty and national brand products and four kiosks displaying Vietnamese fruits exported for the Japanese market.

Co-organised by the Ha Noi Promotion Agency, under the Ha Noi People’s Committee, and Japan’s Saitama Province, the event is part of the Government’s plan to help Vietnamese businesses participate in foreign distribution networks between now and 2020.

Besides this, there will be other activities during the week, such as a trade programme to connect Vietnamese enterprises with Japanese distributors and importers, a symposium to promote Viet Nam and Ha Noi tourism and a programme showcasing handicraft products made by artisans from the Phu Vinh traditional bamboo and rattan weaving village and the Quat Dong embroidery craft village. – VNS
