The first annual conference of the Thai-Vietnamese Business Association (TVBA) has been held recently in Udon Thani province of Thailand with a view to enhancing trade connection between the two neighbouring countries.
The event brought together overseas Vietnamese businesspeople across Thailand, along with representatives of Vietnamese enterprises.
In his speech at the event, Vietnamese Ambassador to Thailand Pham Viet Hung hailed the significance of the association’s operations, saying that economic collaboration activities among enterprises in the association as well as with those in Thailand and Vietnam have contributed to strengthening economic cooperation between the two countries.
Ho Van Lam, TVBA’s chairman said that the key tasks set by the executive board of the association this year are to continue to intensify exchange activities and trade cooperation between businesses owned by overseas Vietnamese in Thailand and Vietnamese ones.
Le Huu Phuc, Trade Counselor at the Vietnam Embassy in Thailand, applauded the role of overseas Vietnamese (OV) businesses as a "bridge" to bring Vietnamese products to consumers in the host country.
On this occasion, TVBA opened a showroom of Vietnam Ngoc Linh ginseng (Panax vietnamensis Ha et Grushv) at the Vietnam Exhibition and Convention Centre in Udon Thani.
The launch of the showroom in Thailand demonstrated the role and efforts of the TVBA in enhancing trade links with domestic enterprises to bring high-quality Vietnamese products to the Thai market, Lam said.
