Workshop Connects Vietnam, Japan Enterprises

Eighty Vietnamese and Japanese enterprises operating in the fields of mechanical engineering and sample mould equipment met in Ho Chi Minh City on March 17 to seek co-operative opportunities.

At the event, the enterprises introduced their products and strengths to each other. The Japanese site also heard of Vietnamese enterprises' demand for machines and equipment.

Yasuzumi Hirotaka, executive director of Japan External Trade Organization (JETRO) in Ho Chi Minh City said that diverse activities have been held by the organization in HCM City to further connect Japanese and Vietnamese enterprises.

In July last year, JETRO in coordination with HCM City Export Processing and Industrial Zones Authority (HEPZA) held a Japan-Vietnam Supporting Industries forum to foster trade exchange between the two countries and help Vietnamese enterprises develop the domestic supporting industry.

In order to promote trade between the two countries, this time JETRO assisted Japanese 32 enterprises working in the fields of mechanical engineering and sample mould equipment to visit Vietnam to seek partners, he said.
