South African firms show interest in Viet Nam

A Vietnamese booth at the 2014 Diplomatic Fair in Pretoria, South Africa last Saturday attracted nearly 1,000 visitors who wanted to find out about the country and economic opportunities it presents.

Besides documents on Viet Nam's economic and investment potentials, the embassy also introduced rice, tra fish, tea and coffee which are the country's major hard currency earners.

Among the visitors were former South African Deputy Minister of International Relations and Cooperation Ebrahim Ebrahim, ambassadors of ASEAN countries and representatives from South African government agencies.

Several local companies contacted the Vietnamese embassy for more information and help in seeking suitable partners.
