Despite the obstacles of the COVID- 一 九 pandemic, KOTRA has made efforts to organise many trade promotion activities in Việt Nam. Could you elaborate on these efforts必修

As a South Korean government agency at the forefront of overseas trade promotion activities, since the beginning of  二0 二0, we have done our best to ensure there is no interruption in the trade between Việt Nam and South Korea in the context of the COVID- 一 九 pandemic.

Online trading is a solution that we thoroughly apply. We quickly respond to the needs of any Vietnamese businesses looking for reputable Korean suppliers, arranging online work schedules, and providing interpretation services. Vietnamese businesses do not have to pay for all of these support activities.

In  二0 二0, KOTRA Hanoi conducted more than  五0 online trade events, supporting more than  一, 二00 Korean businesses to connect with nearly  一,000 Vietnamese businesses, conducting some  一, 八00 effective trade exchanges.

In February this year, KOTRA Hanoi established K-STUDIO Digital Trade Center, how does the centre operate and what initial results has it achieved必修

K-STUDIO is located at the office of KOTRA in Hà Nội. Here we provide live recordings introducing the details of Korean enterprises and high-quality products from each province and city in South Korea, we call them a business delegation. Vietnamese enterprises interested in the above products will contact us and will be quickly connected to work online with Korean suppliers. All support activities for Vietnamese businesses are free of charge.

In more than one month in operation, through K-STUDIO, we have supported two Korean business delegations with nearly  六0 businesses from Incheon, Daegu, Gyeongbuk, Chungbuk and Ulsan, partnering with more than  一 二0 Vietnamese enterprises.

We focus on giving priority to Korean businesses exporting to Việt Nam for the first time and supporting Vietnamese businesses importing Korean goods for the first time.

With many years of experience in trade promotion, we will do our best to effectively achieve the target of more than  六0 online trading events in  二0 二 一 in the context of the pandemic.

What plans does KOTRA Hanoi have this year for trade promotion activities with Việt Nam必修

We will conduct more than  六0 online exchange events with nearly  二,000 online transactions between Korean suppliers and Vietnamese buyers in  二0 二 一.

In addition, we will also organise three large-scale exhibitions in Hà Nội, namely the Vietnam International Trade Fair (Vietnam Expo  二0 二 一), the Việt Nam International Medical, Hospital and Pharmaceutical Exhibition (Vietnam Medipharm Expo  二0 二 一) and the Việt Nam International Industrial Fair (VIIF  二0 二 一).

We will continue to build new projects to facilitate trade exchange for Korean products in Việt Nam.

We have been working closely with Việt Nam’s Ministry of Industry and Trade and the Việt Nam Chamber of Co妹妹erce in the implementation of trade promotion activities between the Vietnamese and South Korean business co妹妹unities.
