The fair offers an opportunity for Vietnamese enterprises to introduce Vietnamese export staples in South Africa and Africa in general, said Vu Van Dung, Vietnamese Ambassador to South Africa.

He hailed bilateral trade turnover of more than 1 billion USD as a highlight of Vietnam’s economic activities in Africa.

However, he noted that there is huge potential for Vietnam to enhance trade cooperation with the region, especially the host country, expressing his hope for better access of Vietnamese products to the market.

SAITEX is the biggest annual international trade fair in Africa, aiming to boost trade exchange between South Africa and other countries while creating better links between producers, exporters, importers and distributors.

This year’s exhibition, which runs through June 27, gathers nearly 600 businesses and more than 50,000 people from about 30 countries and territories worldwide.
