Vietnamese Minister of Foreign Affairs Le Hoai Trung has requested Croatia to urge the European Commission (EC) to soon remove its “yellow card” warning against Vietnamese seafood exports over illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing.
Vice Chairman of the Ho Chi Minh City People’s Committee Hoang Nguyen Dinh inspected efforts to combat illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing at Incomap Port and Cat Lo Port on March 5.
Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh has directed ministries, sectors and localities to pursue the dual goal of combating illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing while fostering sustainable fisheries, thus safeguarding national reputation and interests and protecting the livelihoods of coastal communities.
Tan Thuy commune in the Mekong Delta province of Vinh Long is home to one of the area’s largest fishing fleets. Commune officials have incorporated IUU regulations into community outreach, and closely monitor high-risk boat owners.
