Phạm Thành Kiên, director of the HCM City Department of Industry and Trade, said the trade has grown rapidly in the last few years, topping $12.54 billion last year. Many Vietnamese love Thai products, another reason for Thai firms to promote their products here, she said. The consulate and Kasikorn Bank plan to take a Vietnamese business delegation to Thailand to explore business opportunities, she said. More importantly, Việt Nam has become one of the major export markets for Thai products and several Thai companies are now looking to expand their business to Việt Nam. “I hope that this event can serve as a bridge to help deliver high-quality Thai products to Vietnamese consumers.
