The Vietnamese Embassy to the UAE held the opening ceremony for a showroom of Vietnamese products on March 22.

The event, chaired by Vietnamese Ambassador Nguyen Manh Tuan, welcomed nearly 20 guests, who represented importers, retail chains, investors, and enterprises.

More than 200 products, mainly Vietnamese agricultural, of nearly 40 domestic enterprises were introduced to the guests.

Ambassador Nguyen Manh Tuan said the commercial, service, economic and financial center of the UAE was attracting more Vietnamese businesses. They have addressed their attention to exporting goods to UEA and through the UAE to countries in the Middle Easter, Africa, South America, and Southern Europe.

The annual trade exchange turnover between Vietnam and UAE before the Covid-19 pandemic reached over US$6 billion and remain above US$5 billion in 2021. However, the two countries still have great potential to develop bilateral trade. The Vietnamese Embassy to UAE hopes for trade, investment, science and technology, tourism, and labor industries to meet the two countries' potentials.

The Embassy will periodically organize events to introduce Vietnamese goods to UAE businesses and importers.
