Local products draw domestic and international visitors at Francophonie Village
Cambodian products attracted attention from local and international visitors on the opening day of the Francophonie Village yesterday, as the Kingdom showcased its cultural heritage, locally made goods and business potential alongside the 20th Francophonie Summit.
Held at Wat Botum Vatey Park in Phnom Penh from November 13 to 17, the exhibition brings together a wide range of Cambodian and international products and services, providing a platform for delegates and visitors to explore business opportunities and exchange cultural experiences.
The Francophonie Village features more than 200 national pavilions and exhibition booths representing over 70 countries and international organisations, with the event expected to draw tens of thousands of visitors.
Cambodian exhibition booths feature a variety of locally made goods, including souvenirs, historical books in Khmer and French, traditional Khmer silk garments, as well as food and beverages produced by domestic companies.
Tourism Minister Huot Hak said the exhibition serves as an important platform to promote Cambodia’s culture, civilisation and tourism potential to the international community.
“The Francophonie Village provides member countries and international organisations with opportunities to showcase their national identities through dedicated pavilions,” he said.
Running under the theme “The Khmer Smile, The Smile of Francophonie”, the five-day event convenes Francophone member states and governments to highlight their linguistic, cultural and artistic diversity.
Visitors can also enjoy artistic performances, concerts and cultural exchange programmes, while taking part in conferences and discussions designed to encourage cultural interaction and international engagement.
In addition, free exhibition spaces have been provided to domestic and international private-sector companies to display their products, promote their business potential and connect with attendees.
