Algiers (VNA) - Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh has urged ministries, agencies, and businesses from Vietnam and Algeria to swiftly advance cooperation in agriculture, particularly in banana, tea and rice cultivation, and aquaculture.

While co-chairing a working session with ministries and businesses of both countries on November 19, visiting PM Chinh and his Algerian counterpart Sifi Ghrieb asked them to immediately explore cooperation projects in energy and petrochemical and polymer-fiber production, as well as partnerships to develop 5G products and network systems.

They tasked the Inter-Governmental Committee - newly upgraded to a mechanism co-chaired by the two foreign ministers - to hold regular meetings, either in person or online, every six months or as needed to review and push forward cooperation projects.

PM Ghrieb said that with Algeria’s large rice demand and full reliance on imports, the country is eager to move ahead with cooperation projects with Vietnam, adding it is ready to allocate land in eastern Algeria, where soil conditions are favourable, for Vietnamese investors.

The PM called on ministries, agencies and partners from both sides to promptly study and discuss the projects directly, conduct comprehensive assessments, and within three months draw up concrete proposals to implement the priority cooperation areas agreed at the high level.

In that spirit, on November 20, representatives from relevant Vietnamese ministries and agencies, including the Ministry of Agriculture and Environment, Ministry of Industry and Trade, Vietnam National Industry-Energy Group (Petrovietnam), and Vietnam Fisheries Society, held meetings with Algerian partners to explore cooperation opportunities across various sectors.

​Under the “green lane” process, quality control begins at the cultivation stage, including soil sampling and monitoring, and continues through harvesting and processing, with traceability labels attached to trees and applied to fruit at the time of picking. It also allows plant quarantine procedures and the issuance of certificates of origin (C/O) directly in the localities where the orchards are located.
