This demonstrated Taiwan's firm commitment to continuously deepening Taiwan-Vietnam economic and trade cooperation, promoting smart manufacturing, and strengthening regional supply chain partnerships.

The scale of this year's international industrial exhibitions is unprecedented in Hanoi. The three exhibitions are jointly showcasing over 15,000 square meters of exhibition space, bringing together over 400 companies from more than 10 countries including Taiwan, Vietnam, Japan, South Korea, Singapore, Malaysia, Italy, Spain, India, and China. The exhibitions are jointly supported by the Vietnam Chamber of Commerce and Industry (VCCI), the Trade Promotion Department of the Ministry of Industry and Trade (VIETRADE), relevant units of the Vietnamese Ministry of Science and Technology, and major industry associations in Taiwan and Vietnam, highlighting their significant importance.

The Intelligent Asia Hanoi Exhibition, held in Hanoi for the first time, focuses on three core areas: automation technology, electronics manufacturing, and precision processing. Combined with the two specialized exhibitions on plastics and rubber and printing and packaging, it fully connects the smart manufacturing industry chain, reflecting Vietnam's active promotion of industrial upgrading, smart factories, digital transformation, and high-tech manufacturing development.

More than 60 Taiwanese companies are exhibiting, showcasing the latest technologies in smart manufacturing, automation equipment, precision machinery, electronics manufacturing, industrial components, and integrated solutions. This fully demonstrates Taiwan's innovative strength and comprehensive supply chain advantages in high-end manufacturing, smart factories, and industrial integration.

After the opening ceremony, Liu Shih-chung visited the Taiwanese companies' exhibition area to understand their participation and engaged in discussions with Vietnamese government officials, industry and commerce associations, and enterprise representatives on topics such as smart manufacturing, supply chain cooperation, digital transformation, and investment opportunities.

Taiwanese companies have long been deeply involved in Vietnam, not only bringing capital but also technology, talent cultivation, management experience, and global market linkages, making Taiwan an important partner for Vietnam in promoting industrial upgrading.

Facing global supply chain restructuring, rapid advancements in artificial intelligence, and digital transformation trends, Taiwan will continue to leverage its high-tech manufacturing and innovative R&D advantages to work with Vietnam to build a more resilient and higher value-added regional supply chain. Together, they will promote smart manufacturing, green transformation, and sustainable development, and explore new business opportunities in the global market.
