The tri-nation trade, investment, and tourism exposition involving Cambodia, Laos, and Vietnam, known as the CLV Fair, commenced this week in the southern province of Attapeu, Laos. The event, which runs from Monday through Friday, began with a vibrant concert that showcased the diverse artistic expressions of the participating countries, setting a lively tone for the fair.
The primary objective of the fair is to enhance collaborative efforts in trade, investment, and tourism within the Development Triangle Area. It aims to expand market access for products and facilitate the establishment of business and trade alliances, as reported by Lao National Radio. The fair also acts as a platform for fostering stronger ties and cultural exchanges between Cambodia, Laos, and Vietnam, thereby contributing to regional harmony and understanding.
This year’s exposition boasts 118 stalls, with representation from all three countries, showcasing a wide array of locally produced items. The fair is an opportunity for producer groups and agricultural processors to exhibit their goods, highlighting the quality and diversity of products from the CLV development triangle. It serves as a showcase for the region’s rich cultural heritage through the display of handicrafts crafted by local artisans.
The array of products presented at the fair predominantly originates from key sectors such as agriculture, industry, finance, and banking. This diverse selection underscores the multifaceted nature of the regional economy and the collaborative spirit of the CLV nations. The event not only aims to improve the quality of products within the development triangle but also to stimulate economic growth and cultural appreciation among the participating countries.
