More than 4,000 enterprises from 70 nations and territories are participating in the biennial event, the biggest international food and hospitality trade event in Asia. This is the first time Vietnam has set up a booth on an area of nearly 200 square meters. Along with introducing businesses which have trade activities abroad such as TH True Milk and Trung Nguyen, Vietnam prioritized promoting small-and medium-sized enterprises and start-up companies in processed farm produce such as coffee, cacao, cashew nuts, fruits, rice and seafood.

Earlier in the day, Prime Minister Phuc and a high-level Vietnamese delegation laid flower wreaths at the statue of late President Ho Chi Minh in the campus of the Asian Civilizations Museum.
