Accordingly, the Vietnam Trade Office in Australia will set up online stalls for exhibiting goods in all fields. These stalls will also introduce logos, names, and distinctive images of enterprises. Simultaneously, companies could upload video clips on, make transactions, and even receive orders at their own stalls.

Not having to pay any fees, firms could still get access to customers from both Australia and many countries around the world. Most notably, enterprises will also be advertised for free on the iCloud platform if they offer support for the flood-hit localities. Besides, the virtual seminar rooms will introduce local potentials, thereby calling for investment, promoting their tourism, and linking businesses together.
