Bangkok (VNA) – The first annual conference of the Thai-Vietnamese Business Association (TVBA) has been held recently in Udon Thani province of Thailand, aiming to boost trade connection between the two neighbouring countries.

The event gathered overseas Vietnamese businesspeople across Thailand, along with representatives of Vietnamese enterprises.

In his remarks at the conference, Vietnamese Ambassador to Thailand Pham Viet Hung lauded the significance of the association’s operation, saying that economic collaboration activities among enterprises in the association as well as with those in Thailand and Vietnam have contributed to promoting economic cooperation between the two countries.

Ho Van Lam, TVBA’s chairman said that the key tasks set by the executive board of the association this year are to continue to promote exchange activities and trade cooperation between businesses owned by overseas Vietnamese in Thailand and Vietnamese ones, aiming to bring more Vietnamese goods to the Thai market in the spirit of the Prime Minister's Project 1797 on "Mobilising overseas Vietnamese to introduce and consume Vietnamese products and develop distribution channels for Vietnamese goods abroad in 2020-2024 period".

Le Huu Phuc, Trade Counselor at the Vietnam Embassy in Thailand, hailed the role of overseas Vietnamese (OV) businesses as a "bridge" to bring Vietnamese products to consumers in the host country.

On this occasion, TVBA opened a showroom of Vietnam Ngoc Linh ginseng (Panax vietnamensis Ha et Grushv) at the Vietnam Exhibition and Convention Centre in Udon Thani.

The launch of the showroom in Thailand demonstrated the role and efforts of the TVBA in promoting trade with domestic enterprises to bring high-quality Vietnamese products to the Thai market, Lam said./.
