Speaking at the award ceremony in Sydney, Grant expressed his honour at receiving the medal from Vietnam’s Ministry of Industry and Trade.
He said the achievement is a result of the active cooperation between the Vietnamese Consulate General in Sydney, the Vietnam Trade Office in Australia and the SIAA, and confirmed that he would continue to support the country’s seafood industry.
Consul General Mai Phuoc Dung hailed the SIAA for its assistance and recognised Grant’s contributions to helping Vietnamese exporters extricate difficulties while making inroads in the market.
Last year, Vietnam raked in over 180 million USD from exporting seafood to Australia, and the amount is forecast to exceed 200 million USD in 2014.-VNA
