Bangkok, June 23 (VNA/NNT) – The Thai Commerce Ministry has organised the “Thailand Trade Show” in Africa, in hope of promoting the exports of Thai products.
The show, held during the Thailand-Africa JTC meeting in Africa’s Cape Town , aimed to help Thai entrepreneurs set foot in the African market. More than 20 textile, food, and OTOP product exporters from Thailand joined the event.
