Promoting trade, investment and tourism in Mekong River Delta

A conference on promoting trade, investment and tourism in the Mekong River Delta was held in An Giang province on May 15.

Present at the conference were representatives of ministries, departments and businesses in the Mekong River Delta region and the South Western region, and the Overseas Vietnamese Association of Cambodia.

Delegates discussed cooperation programmes in the Mekong River Delta from now until 2010, including organising “Mekong River Delta’s Days” in Ho Chi Minh City in January 2010 and an international farm produce fair. Regional provinces will conduct fact-finding tours to explore tourism potential in the Mekong Delta, establish a joint stock company to buy and distribute farm produce from the region and issue publications introducing the delta’s investment potential and opportunities as well as trade promotion activities in the Cambodian market.

The conference is the first event within the framework of the Mekong Delta Economic Cooperation-An Giang Forum 2009.
