According to the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Industry and Trade, the city is also hosting a trade delegation to facilitate business matchmaking with international buyers.
A business matchmaking event was set to take place on Wednesday and Thursday, acting as a bridge between Vietnamese firms and Singaporean and international buyers, importers and distributors.
The initiative was expected to present an excellent opportunity for Vietnamese companies to promote their products and services, build partnerships, and establish connections with international trade networks.
It was also aimed at helping businesses explore new export markets, especially in light of the global economic uncertainties and the new tariffs imposed by the United States, which have affected Vietnam’s export strategies.

Vietnamese Ambassador to Singapore Tran Phuoc Anh told the Vietnam News Agency that the participation of over 50 Vietnamese firms in the expo came at a timely and crucial moment.
He highlighted that the Vietnam-Singapore relationship is currently at its best, particularly after the upgrade to a comprehensive strategic partnership in mid-March.
Amid global economic challenges, with the U.S. imposing retaliatory tariffs, the need to diversify and seek new markets is urgent.
Through the exhibition, Vietnamese companies could demonstrate their readiness for international integration and strengthen their global presence.
The ambassador expressed his commitment to supporting Vietnamese enterprises in expanding their market reach and securing a stronger foothold in the international market.
