Priority will be given to localities and businesses that are capable of exporting craft products and taking on direct negotiations with global partners.
Hanoi officials and businesses will meet the event organizer to discuss practices and solutions in hosting similar craft fairs.
They will also seek opportunities to set up partnerships with international buyers, and ask them to attend the Hanoi Gift Show, which is scheduled for October 9-12.
In addition, the Hanoi Department of Industry and Trade and the Vietnam Trade Office in Japan will discuss ways to link the business communities of the two countries.
