Hanoi (VNA) – Once operational, the Vietnam National Pavillion on Chinese e-commerce platform JD.com will help Vietnamese products to be distributed directly to consumers in the importing countries, said an official.
Dang Hoang Hai, head of the Vietnam E-commerce and Digital Economy Agency (VEDEA) under the Ministry of Industry and Trade, said at a press briefing in Hanoi on November 30 that this is the first Vietnamese pavilion on an international e-commerce platform which enables Vietnamese firms to provide their products to customers directly through trans-border e-commerce method.
With the support of JD.com, Vietnamese products will be distributed in the Chinese market through an official and prestigious channel, he said.
Hai said that the VEDEA will coordinate with domestic and foreign partners, including JD.com, Vinanutrifood, Viettel Post, VP Bank and Visa to set up the Vietnam National Pavilion on the JD.com e-commerce platform.
The agency will help connect businesses and give them guidelines on distributing products on the pavilion in line with regulations of the platform and the law of the importing country. At the same time, it will also seek resources from partners to promote Vietnamese products and support local firms to smoothly distribute their products on the JD e-commerce platform, thus increasing exports to China.
Hai held that trans-border e-commerce will be the fastest channel to directly connect businesses and consumers, supporting the traditional distribution channel, and reducing cost for enterprises.
