Online trade event to connect Vietnamese, RoK firms next month
The Korea Trade-Investment Promotion Agency (KOTRA) in Hanoi plans to organize an online meeting to connect Vietnamese businesses and companies from Nonsan City, South Chungcheong Province of the Republic of Korea (RoK) next month.
The event is expected to feature representatives of seven RoK businesses and will last from September 13-17.
It aims to promote bilateral trade between Vietnamese buyers and RoK suppliers from Nonsan, facilitating trade between the two sides.

Nonsan City, two-hour drive from Seoul city by car, is dubbed as a "Health City" because its land is useful for cultivating crops with a high nutrient content that is good for human health such as rice, ginseng, strawberries and watermelons. The city also has many industrial parks specializing in food and beverage processing, metal fabrication, electronic components, mechanical engineering and industrial equipment.
In the first six months of this year, KOTRA helped connect Vietnamese businesses with more than 18 RoK business delegations, the equivalent of 300 enterprises via online exchange events. Among them, nearly 100 new RoK exporters were connected for the first time.
The number of online transactions has been increasing month by month despite travel restrictions between the two countries due to the Covid-19 pandemic, KOTRA said.
