The statement was made by Pham Trung Nghia, trade counsellor to Dubai, the UAE, at the March 1 seminar to introduce the Market Survey and Trade Promotion Program for the Vietnamese Goods Week in Dubai beginning on April 21.

Medium-quality products can be accepted by Dubai customers, Nghia said. However, Vietnam products will face fierce competition with rivals from other Southeast Asian countries so domestic businesses should pay more attention to product prices.
