An online trade conference took place on Thursday to offer Singaporean investors insights into investment opportunities in the Central Highlands province of Lam Dong and the south-central provinces of Ninh Thuan and Binh Thuan.

The event was organised by the Viet Nam Trade Office in Singapore, the three provinces’ departments of industry and trade, and the Singapore Chinese Chamber of Commerce and Industry, and connected enterprises from the four different locations in a virtual meeting.

There were 100 Singaporean and 35 Vietnamese companies involved in the event, which screened video clips on the provinces’ specialities, industrial infrastructure, and energy and transport networks, among other matters.

It was part of efforts by the trade office to promote transactions amid a global economic slowdown caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Earlier, the trade office held an online fair to introduce made-in-Viet Nam products, providing visitors with images of goods, farms, and processing facilities. It also supported Vietnamese businesses in sending sample goods for display in Singapore and testing by Singaporean companies. — VNS
