This is an important event to welcome the visit of President George W. Bush to Vietnam during the APEC CEO Summit 2006. Under the theme “Vietnam: Potential Investment Opportunities,” the Fair will introduce a wide range of exhibits in various fields of heavy industry, light industry, processing industry, construction, telecommunication, agriculture, fishery, tourism, IT, Insurance, banking, financing ... American companies can also rent an exhibition booth at the Fair to market their products/services. In addition, a number of conferences, seminars and networking sessions will be hosted by the Vietnam Chamber of Commerce and Industry to facilitate business cooperation between Vietnamese and American companies.

As the fastest growing economy in Southeast Asia, Vietnam’s bilateral trade with the US totaled more than $7.8 billion last year, a five-fold increase since the Bilateral Trade Agreement took effect in 2001, which removed high tariff and other trade barriers between the US and Vietnam. Moreover, Vietnam’s World Trade Organization ascension will lead into great access for US companies’ products and services in the Vietnamese market.

Vietnam Resource Group, LLC (www.vietgroup.net), a private consulting firm based in Washington DC, has been appointed by Viet Promotion Co., the event organizer, to promote the event in the USA and to coordinate a US Trade & Investment Mission to Vietnam from Nov. 4th to 15th, 2006, which is supported by the US Vietnam Chamber of Commerce (www.usvnchamber.org). Mission participants will also be introduced to various investment projects located in selected major cities/provinces in Vietnam: Ha Noi, Quang Ninh, Da Nang, Nha Trang, HCM City and Dong Nai province.
