A variety of cultural and arts exchanges between Vietnam and Japan are among the focal points, with 40 stalls offering tourist products, food, apparel and household appliances, among others.
A conference promoting investment in tourism and trade, particularly the UNESCO-recognised World Natural Heritage Ha Long Bay, has been scheduled, as well as promoting traditional folk games.
Hundreds of thousands of visitors in and outside the country are expected to join the three-day event, which is expected to boost trade and tourism between Vietnamese and Japanese firms, and between Quang Ninh and Japanese localities in particular.
