Vietnam attends import-export trade exhibition in Cambodia

Nearly 262 companies from 17 nations in the world including 20 from Vietnam, have participated in the 6th Cambodia Import-Export & One Province One Product Exhibition Plus ACMECS which officially opened in Phnom Penh on December 15.

The annual event aims to help businesses promote trade and seek partners.

The focus is on trade promotions among five ACMECS (Ayeyawady-Chao Phraya-Mekong Economic Cooperation Strategy) countries - Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, Thailand and Vietnam by their leaders at the fifth ACMECS held in Phnom Penh in November last year.

Trade exchange between Vietnam and ACMECS countries has developed constantly in recent years and is expected to reach US$12 billion this year.

In the first ten months of the year, Cambodia’s bilateral trade turnover reached nearly US$2.3 billion, up 57 percent from a year earlier.
