Vietnam plans Cambodia trade talks in An Giang on November 13
The conference is part of a 2026 programme intended to help lift trade between the two countries to US$20 billion by 2030.
Vietnam’s Ministry of Industry and Trade is preparing a November 13 conference in An Giang province with the provincial trade department to strengthen commercial links with Cambodia. Officials, industry groups and businesses from both countries are expected to participate.
The ministry reported two-way trade of US$8.67 billion for the first eight months of 2026, an 8.3% increase from a year earlier. Vietnam exported US$4.28 billion to Cambodia, up 13.8%, and imported US$4.38 billion, up 3.4%.
The agenda covers consumer demand, market trends, entry requirements and commercial opportunities. Participants will exchange experience on product quality, design, packaging and branding, together with compliance requirements for traceability, labelling and food safety.
Talks will examine problems affecting cross-border trade and consider ways to develop markets, distribution networks, logistics and e-commerce. A business-matching session is planned to help companies discuss their needs and find possible partners.
A related fair is scheduled for November 12–14 at the conference venue. Exhibits from businesses in both countries will include agricultural and aquatic goods, consumer products, local specialities and items from the One Commune, One Product (OCOP) programme. Cultural exchanges, performances and livestream sales are also planned.
