On display at the 270 pavilions are a wide variety of high quality and well-designed products.
A seminar was also held the same day to create opportunities for businesses to promote their high quality products and cooperate in building an import and export network, contributing to two-way trade turnover.
In recent years, bilateral trade has increased significantly, averaging 24 percent annually in the 2005-2010 period. In the past 10 months, the trade turnover reached US$581 million, up 51 percent.
Key import-export items include steel, iron, oil and gas, means of transport, wood products, garments and textiles, and recently, fruit and farm produce.
The fair, jointly organised by the Vietnam and Lao Ministries of Industry and Trade, is part of the activities to celebrate the Vietnam-Laos Friendship Year 2012.
