In the morning of June 19 alone, the Vietnamese pavilion welcomed over 1,000 visitors, including officials of the ruling African National Congress party, the Indonesian and Pakistan ambassadors, and representatives from the diplomatic corp and trade offices of some African and Asian nations. 
 
Deputy Director of the Hanoi Department of Industry and Trade Tran Thi Phuong Lan said the city authorities encouraged its businesses to participate in trade promotion activities, especially in new markets like South Africa and other African nations.
