The Union minister, deputy ministers and the director-general of the Consumer Affairs Department cut ribbon to inaugurate the event.

In his speech, the Union minister highlighted the theme of World Consumer Rights Day — A Just Transition to Sustainable Lifestyles — and added that the government promotes the MSMEs sector as high production of standard products can lead to a sustainable lifestyle through a just transition. Being a member of the ASEAN Committee on Consumer Protection, the government works together with ASEAN countries in implementing the ASEAN Strategic Action Plan for Consumer Protection 2016-2025 and also conducts educating programmes, market surveillance and supervisory on trademarks.

He then urged the attendees to work together to ensure a protective, healthy and fine community for the consumers in line with the theme.
