The Mekong Expo Vietnam 2013 wrapped up on May 2 in the Mekong Delta city of Can Tho with over 10,600 contracts inked.
The six-day event drew over 110,000 visitors, who came in droves during the April 30-May 1 holidays.
Local porcelain, pottery and handicrafts attracted the enthusiastic interest of consumers.
Themed “Cooperation and investment for the development of Mekong Delta
and Boosting Trade Promotion”, the expo was jointly held by the
Ministry of Industry and Trade, and the People’s Committee of Can Tho
