Press Release Summary: Vietnam Electronics 2008 is the official event sponsored by
Ministry of Information and Communications (MIC) and jointly organized by Vietnam's
largest operator Vietnam Posts & Telecommunications Group (VNPT) and Adsale
Exhibition Services Ltd.

Press Release Body: International Exhibition in Vietnam on Electronics Products 2008
(Vietnam Electronics 2008) will be held in HoChiMinh City, SR Vietnam during 26 - 29
November 2008.

With a population of 82.2 million, a fast growing economy - Vietnam, demonstrates
itself as the most promising electronics market in Southeast Asia. Vietnam's
electronic industry targets US$4-6 billion in production value and US$3-5 billion in
export turnover by 2010. By 2020, the electronics industry would become a chief
driver of the nation's economic development. IT hardware production in Vietnam is
becoming more attractive to foreign investors. For example, the world's leading
computer processor manufacturer announced to build the largest assembly and test
site in Vietnam that will be operational in 2009 and raise its investment to US$1
billion. Moreover, the Ministry of Finance announced to lower the average import tax
on electronic parts from 9.41% to 6.36% in accordance with commitments made under
ASEAN Free Trade Area (AFTA) agreement, which would encourage the import of
electronic components and the assembly of the computers within the country. Duty on
complete built unit electronic products, which have a local content of at least 40%,
from ASEAN countries have been reduced down to between 0-5% from the previous
20-30%, that would have impacts on local production protection. Vietnam's admission
into the World Trade Organization (WTO) since January 2007 provides an important
boost to the economy and ensures the continuation of free-market reforms followed by
new opportunities for companies both locally and abroad.

Vietnam Electronics 2008 has received strong support from the Vietnam government
authorities and industry influencers. The exhibition is sponsored by Ministry of
Information and Communications (MIC) and jointly organized by Vietnam's largest
