A seminar on exporting Vietnamese construction materials has been held by the Ministry of Trade and Industry’s African Market Department, the Ministry of Construction’s International Cooperation Department, and the IEC Joint Stock Company.

The event drew the participation of nearly 100 delegates, including 60 big businesses in producing construction materials, such as Vietnam Cement Industry Group, Viglacera, Thanh Tri Pottery Company, Ha Long Cement Company and Nghi Son Cement Company.

The participants discussed the development of Vietnam’s construction material industry and opportunities as well as challenges to export construction materials to such foreign markets as the Middle East.

With material sources, technologies and human resources seen as an advantage, Vietnam is expected to export more construction materials to some foreign markets in the near future.

The delegates agreed that Vietnamese companies should take part in international fairs and exhibition to promote their products and seek business opportunities.
