THE HANOI TIMES — The “Vietnamese Goods Fair”, held on November 22–23 at Hanoi's Dong Anh Cultural, Information and Sports Center, attracted 51 booths from nearly 40 reputable businesses and production facilities across the capital.

The event responded to the campaign “Vietnamese People Prioritize Using Vietnamese Goods” and strengthened the role of the Hanoi Labor Confederation in protecting workers’ interests and supporting the sustainable growth of Vietnamese enterprises.

The fair offered hundreds of essential, high-quality products from clothing, footwear and household appliances to electronics, food, fast-moving consumer goods and healthcare items.

All products were discounted by at least 10% compared to market prices, with many reduced by 30%-40% and accompanied by promotions and gifts.

Alongside commercial activities, the fair featured cultural performances and community exchanges, creating a lively and engaging atmosphere for residents and workers.

Nguyen Thi Thu Thuy, Vice Chairwoman of the Hanoi Labor Confederation, said: “This fair represents the shared commitment of businesses, the trade union and the city’s workforce.”

Through the event, the Hanoi Labor Confederation aims to help trade union members and workers access high-quality Vietnamese goods at preferential prices, easing financial pressure and improving overall welfare.

The fair also supports domestic consumption, helps enterprises overcome challenges, stabilizes production and protect jobs and incomes.

It further provides a platform for businesses to promote their brands, expand market reach and strengthen their connection with workers, among the most loyal consumers of Vietnamese products.

The capital’s trade unions have continued to prioritize worker welfare in recent years, achieving significant results.

Since early 2025, more than 900,000 trade union members and workers have received visits and gifts with total support nearing VND400 billion (US$15.2 million).

Signature programs, such as “Tet Reunion”, “Trade Union Tet Market”, “Trade Union Shelter”, “Trade Union Meal” and assistance for disadvantaged workers, have helped improve workers’ quality of life, strengthened ties with enterprises and contributed to social stability in Hanoi.
