APEC 2017 is expected to contribute to enhancing the country's internal strength, promoting trade, investment and tourism between Vietnam and APEC partners. APEC currently accounts for 75% of trade, 78% of foreign direct investment and 79% of total foreign tourists to Vietnam.

As a member of APEC and the host country, the behind-the-scenes work for the most important event of the year has been prepared very seriously and carefully by the Organizing Committee, including the selection of products to serve the heads of state, high-level delegations and the International Press Center. These products not only have to pass strict inspection rounds in terms of quality and food safety but also have to ensure the aesthetics and uniqueness of the products representing the quintessence of Vietnam.
