FORUM BRINGS BUSINESSES FROM FIVE ASEAN COUNTRIES TOGETHER

A business forum connecting enterprises from the five ASEAN member countries of Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, and Myanmar took place in Thailand’s Udon Thani province from November 17–19.

Addressing the forum, Vietnamese Ambassador to Thailand Phan Chi Thanh said the gathering results from investment, trade, and tourism promotion activities conducted in Vietnam by Vietnamese businesspeople based in Thailand.

Participants discussed and exchanged experience to strengthen trade exchanges and connections and form a network connecting businesses in the five countries in areas of agriculture, tourism, services, high technology, exports, and finance.

It also introduces and promotes Vietnam’s investment and business environment, the export of Vietnamese goods to countries in the region, and contributes to realizing a government project in the 2020–2024 period on calling on overseas Vietnamese to join in introducing and consuming Vietnamese products.

The forum offers an appropriate and effective channel for businesses to realize future cooperative opportunities. There are five enterprises that signed cooperation agreements on November 19, and we expect many more to ink deals after the forum.
