Hanoi (VNA) – The ASEAN Online Sale Da🐬y 2024, the largest shopping festival in the region, will official kick off on August 8, the Vietnam E-commerce and Digital Economy Agency (iDEA) under the Ministry of Industry and Trade (MOIT) has announced.
The 3-day event will be held at //onlineasean.com, providing a unique platform for businesses and consumers across ASEAN to access special offers and unique products from all the 10 member countries.
It is set to feature major e-commerce platforms such as Lazada and Shopee, with TikTok and Amazon making their debut and being expected to enhance the event's appeal and reach.

The event is designed not only to boost sales and enhance brand visibility for participating companies but also to play a crucial role in connecting and developing ASEAN economies through digital platforms.
