The Vietnam – Hanoi Goods Week 2019 opened in Seoul on November 22, drawing a large number of visitors.

Co-hosted by the Hanoi Investment, Trade and Tourism Promotion Centre and Lotte Mart company, the event, which will run until November 28, is expected to bring Vietnamese products to the Lotte distribution system, contributing to popularising Vietnam’s cuisine, culture and tourism to the people of the Republic of Korea (RoK).

Vietnamese firms are showcasing processed food; fresh, dried and canned fruits; gifts, apparels, spices, tea and coffee to visitors.

A business-to-business matching session, tourism promotion and folk art performance events are also being held.

Speaking at the event, Vietnamese Deputy Ambassador to the RoK Tran Truong Thuy said the event affords a chance to help consumer goods of Vietnam and Hanoi in particular to better access the RoK, thus promoting exchange between the two countries.

Earlier, the Hanoi People’s Committee and Lotte Group signed a Memorandum of  Understanding to enhance investment in trade infrastructure and goods purchase.
