[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Hwang Choi Hyun-joo] Changwon City in Gyeongnam is operating an online export consultation meeting with Vietnam at the Cupid Center, a permanent online consultation hall within the Changwon Convention Center, until the 27th.

This video consultation is linked with the 2020 Vietnam Hanoi Expo to help local small and medium-sized enterprises develop export channels. It was prepared to promote non-face-to-face video consultations in a situation where participation in international exhibitions has become difficult due to the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic.

The city, in collaboration with the Changwon Industry Promotion Agency and the Gyeongnam KOTRA Support Group, invited 50 Vietnamese buyers through an online platform to conduct one-on-one business consultations.

On the first day, the 25th, video export consultations were held with 10 genuine Vietnamese buyers, including Silver Fox, a company specializing in baby products, and Gagopa Healing Food Co., Ltd., a producer of herbal tea and herbal food ingredients.

Additionally, on the 26th and 27th, video export consultations will continue with 10 genuine Vietnamese buyers, including Seongchang Industry, which produces loess kitchenware, and Smart Berry, a wireless charger company.

Mayor Heo Seong-mu of Changwon said, “Now that it is not the ‘post-COVID era’ but the ‘with-COVID era,’ we will actively support overcoming the current crisis by promoting various non-face-to-face trade support projects that minimize corporate costs and maximize export performance.”
