During the ministry’s regular press conference in Hanoi on September 22, Hang said Vietnam also wants to work with Thailand in improving farm produce quality, and renewing sci-tech to bring greater benefits to the two countries’ farmers, contributing to their bilateral strategic partnership.
Vietnam is a responsible member on global issues, including food security. Since early this year, Vietnam has boosted food exports, with a record 4.19 million tonnes shipped abroad in the first seven months of this year, up 20.5% year-on-year, Hang affirmed.
As a leading rice exporter, Vietnam always respects market rules and abides by the World Trade Organisation’s regulations and terms in international trade agreements that it already signed, she stressed./.
