Thai products and services are being showcased to local customers at the Top Thai Brands Hanoi 2021 event, which began in the capital on Thursday.

The four-day event is hosted by the Department of International Trade Promotion under the Ministry of Commerce of Thailand, Office of Commercial Affairs under the Royal Thai Embassy in Ha Noi, in co-operation with the Viet Nam National Trade Fair and Advertising and the Ministry of Industry and Trade of Viet Nam.

At the Ha Noi International Exhibition Centre, as many as 31 online booths are in place to connect Thai exporters to Vietnamese importers to promote trade between Thailand and Viet Nam.

There are also 60 on-site booths of Vietnamese importers and agents who import Thai products, displaying and selling a number of categories of quality products from Thailand, including food and beverages, household products, textile and garment, jewellery, health and beauty products, decorative items and souvenir, travel services and more.

Special activities include the Songkran Festival, Thailand Photoshoot, Thai Boxing, Thai food tasting and Thai dancing performance.

This year’s event takes place amid the 45th anniversary of the establishment of Thailand-Viet Nam diplomatic relations, said Morakot Janemathukorn, Thailand Provisional Representative in Viet Nam.

Top Thai Brands promotes and introduces good quality Thai products and services at preferential prices to Vietnamese people, she said.

Although the COVID-19 pandemic made it difficult for Thai businesses to come to Viet Nam, they still showed their desire to bring the best Thai products and services to the Vietnamese people, she said.

Top Thai Brands Hanoi 2021 expects to reboot the business connection between Vietnamese importers and Thai exporters, contributing to trade relations between Viet Nam and Thailand and strengthening trade co-operation within ASEAN countries. — VNS
