JAKARTA (Biz Hub) — Twenty Vietnamese enterprises are attending the Trade Expo Indonesia 2016, which is under-way in Jakarta, in order to advertise their products and survey the market.
These firms specialise in wooden furniture, home appliances, textiles and garments, agriculture, seafood, construction materials, electronics, machinery and beverages.
Le Hong Minh, head of the Vietnamese Trade Office in Indonesia, said bilateral trade between Viet Nam and Indonesia would likely reach between US$5.4-5.6 billion in 2016, he said, adding that it might be difficult to realise the goal of $10 billion in two-way trade in 2018.
In the time ahead, his office will continue to support Vietnamese firms in joining trade fairs and exhibitions, as well as create opportunities for them to work directly with Indonesian enterprises to seek co-operation, Minh said.
The expo, Indonesia's largest annual trade fair, attracted the participation of 120 countries and territories with 15,500 booths. It will run until Sunday. — VNS
