The Consular Club of Ho Chi Minh City (Consular Club HCM) will host its 28th International Charity Fair in Thu Duc City, Ho Chi Minh City, with an expected attendance of up to 1,500 people. Commemorating its 30th anniversary, this year’s fair will feature a wider array of international goods, foods, cultural performances, lucky draws, and various other engaging activities.
At this event, in his capacity as Honorary Consul of Slovenia in Ho Chi Minh City, Mr. Bui Quang Minh (Minh Beta) will collaborate with the Consular Club International in activities that bring significant value to the community.
At the Fair, Beta Group will showcase two booths featuring environmentally friendly products and items from two startups in which Mr. Minh Beta has invested. These include Legendary, a chocolate brand imbued with Vietnamese cultural essence, and Toan Thuong, a startup offering "Hong vanh khuyen treo gio" (wind-hanging persimmon). All profits from Beta Group’s two booths will be donated to charity organizations.
The participation of Mr. Bui Quang Minh (Minh Beta) in this event not only encourages and motivates those who wish to contribute to meaningful social causes but also marks a significant milestone in the friendly relations between Vietnam and Slovenia, fostering continued bilateral cooperation across various sectors.
Since officially establishing diplomatic relations on June 7, 1994, Vietnam and Slovenia have continuously nurtured friendly and cooperative relations across numerous fields. The two countries consistently maintain close coordination and mutual support at international forums. Slovenia is currently Vietnam's leading economic partner in the Balkan region, and Vietnam has become a major trading partner of Slovenia within ASEAN.
The achievements attained over the past 30 years clearly demonstrate the strong and positive development of bilateral relations. Both sides have been actively promoting cooperation in key areas such as politics-diplomacy, trade-investment, culture-tourism, and education and training.
