On September 7th, we learned from the Nanchong Overseas Chinese Federation that the first Sichuan Chongqing Excellent Products (Hanoi) International Expo has successfully concluded at the Hanoi International Exhibition Center in Vietnam, gathering the strength of the overseas Chinese community and helping thousands of enterprises and products to go abroad. This grand event is led and organized by overseas Chinese leaders from Nanchong.

Nearly a hundred companies showcase their high-quality products, using overseas Chinese as a bridge and exhibitions as a medium, to fully promote the deep cultivation of thousands of enterprises and products in Vietnam, based in ASEAN, and expanding internationally in Sichuan Chongqing and Nanchong.

Overseas Chinese leaders take the lead in setting up platforms to demonstrate the responsibility of the overseas Chinese community in Nanchong

The successful hosting of this international expo cannot be separated from the proactive actions and dedicated leadership of overseas Chinese leaders from Nanchong. Wen Rui, a Nanchong based overseas Chinese businessman who has been deeply involved in the Vietnamese market for more than 20 years, serves as the executive chairman of the Sichuan Chongqing Enterprise Federation of the Vietnam China Chamber of Commerce. He has founded multiple manufacturing enterprises and, with profound overseas resources, solid industry accumulation, and extensive influence in the overseas Chinese community, has taken the lead in coordinating the overall planning, implementation, and resource docking of this expo.

During the preparation period of the event, President Wen Rui took the initiative to connect with the Nanchong Overseas Chinese Federation and the Nanchong Overseas Chinese Business Federation, building a two-way economic and trade bridge between Nanchong and Vietnam overseas. At the same time, we will make every effort to ensure exhibition security and provide public welfare assistance. Working shoulder to shoulder with the backbone of the Chamber of Commerce and working together, from refining the plan and inviting enterprises to on-site coordination and logistical support, we have tackled each task step by step, fully demonstrating the deep feelings and sense of responsibility of overseas Chinese in Nanchong to develop together and give back to their hometown. The success of this expo cannot be separated from everyone's support and assistance. Executive Chairman Wen Rui personally provided more than 600000 yuan to subsidize this event, which moved the participating companies very much. "Zhang Wei, a Nanchong overseas Chinese businessman and founding president of the Sichuan Chongqing Enterprise Federation of the Vietnam China General Chamber of Commerce, added.

The first Sichuan Chongqing Premium Products (Hanoi) International Expo held in Vietnam, a Southeast Asian country, is a pilot and a new beginning.
