In 2022, the Ministry of Industry and Trade assigned the Trade Promotion Department to coordinate with relevant units to successfully organize business networking programs between suppliers and export businesses, as well as trade promotion organizations in all three regions of Vietnam: North, Central, and South. The business networking program between suppliers in the Central and Central Highlands regions and export businesses and trade promotion organizations, held in Da Nang, helped businesses in the Central and Central Highlands regions connect, exchange information, and introduce their products directly to over 35,000 domestic and international visitors. According to Deputy Minister Do Thang Hai, leaders of provinces and cities highly appreciated the organizers' efforts in arranging the program to connect with distributors, export businesses, and especially with embassies and foreign trade promotion organizations. The Deputy Minister also added that, based on the results of recent trade promotion activities, the 2023 program connecting suppliers in the Central and Central Highlands regions with export businesses and trade promotion organizations is an important regional trade promotion activity, with the participation of most localities in the Central and Central Highlands regions. It will introduce typical products and products with export potential from the region to international trade promotion agencies, importers, Vietnamese processing and export buyers, as well as Vietnamese and international distributors. “The trade connection conference will also provide information and solutions to help businesses boost exports directly into foreign distribution networks and effectively participate in the global production value chain,” Deputy Minister Do Thang Hai informed.
