The Autumn Fair is an affirmation that the Vietnamese market is not only attractive in scale and growth rate but is also a safe and promising destination.

The fair attracted more than a million visitors, thousands of exchanges, contracts and memorandums of understanding on investment cooperation and technology transfer between domestic and foreign enterprises with a trade value of nearly VND5,000 billion. Direct revenue at fairs and through online channels increased by 40 - 45% compared to the general level of national trade promotion events in recent years.

At today's ceremony, I continue to call on the business community, people and soldiers nationwide to continue to accompany, join hands to support, share losses, and add a motivation for people in disaster and flood areas to be resilient and steadfast in the face of difficulties, soon stabilize their lives and restore production and business - the Prime Minister called on.
