Speaking at the opening of the booth, Ambassador Nguyen Thanh Hai appreciated the Trade Office for organizing and supporting Vietnamese enterprises to promote goods at this fair.

The ambassador congratulated Vietnamese businesses, including NGK Sanest Khanh Hoa Joint Stock Company, for participating in the fair.

Ambassador Nguyen Thanh Hai stated the embassy always supports and accompanies Vietnamese enterprises to study the Indian market and expand their operation there.

"India has a large market capacity and is expected to become the world's third largest economy in the near future. Therefore, this is a good opportunity for businesses to expand the market, in the context of rising inflation and the demand of large and traditional markets is shrinking," emphasized Hai.

Union Minister of Commerce and Industry, Piyush Goyal said that the theme for this year is ‘Vocal for Local, Local to Global’ proposed by the Prime Minister of India to achieve the goal of self-reliant India.

He underlined the importance of local industries in the development of economic activities. India also pays special attention to the "One Local, One Product" initiative to promote micro, small and medium enterprises as well as artisans and craftspeople from rural and semi-agricultural areas. That will be a great encouragement for local products go global, he said.

According to Bui Trung Thuong, besides Khanh Hoa Sanest Salanganes'Nest, nearly 20 other Vietnamese enterprises have registered to display their products at the Trade Office - Embassy's booth. Many provinces and cities have asked the Trade Office to support the promotion of local investment, trade and tourism potentials through this fair.
