Speaking at the opening ceremony, Deputy Minister of Industry and Trade Phan Thi Thang said that the Vietnamese Government always encourages and creates conditions for Vietnamese enterprises to connect and become a link in the global supply chain in general and in the Aeon system in particular.

“The Vietnamese Goods Week at the Aeon Japan system has been held annually and maintained for many years, serving as a bridge to help bring Aeon customers and, more broadly, Japanese consumers closer to Vietnam, to understand and love the country and people of Vietnam more.
