Vietnam and China are going to hold several teleconferences in the next few days to promote the trade of agricultural products and specialties.

Online trade connections between Vietnamese firms and import partners were being increased together with trade promotion activities to accelerate post-pandemic export, Deputy Minister of Industry and Trade Do Thang Hai said.

Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development Nguyen Xuan Cuong held a working session with Chinese Ambassador to Vietnam Xiong Bo in Hanoi on April 16 to discuss ways to facilitate the exchange of agricultural products between the two countries amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Ministry of Industry and Trade (MoIT) has launched a number of measures to tackle difficulties for the Vietnam – China trade, amid the complicated developments of COVID-19 pandemic.

China remains the largest buyer of Vietnam’s agricultural products, so Vietnamese businesses are making preparations to boost exports to this market when it recovers after the COVID-19 pandemic.

The volume of goods imported from and exported to China through border gates in the northern mountainous province of Lao Cai has continuously increased in recent days amid the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) outbreak.

The High Command of the Border Guards of the northern border province of Lao Cai recently issued a document announcing the suspension of entry and exit at auxiliary gates on the border with China, in an effort to fight the acute respiratory disease caused by the nCoV.

Vehicles will be banned from passing through Lao Cai-Hekou International Border Gate from January 1, 2020, according to the Lao Cai economic zone management board.

A report on the building of a general programme for the use of trade remedies in several production industries are being compiled by the Trade Remedies Authority of Vietnam (TRAV).

The customs sector has put into operation 10 specialised inspection units in eight areas, an official told a press conference in Hanoi on August 16.
