HCM City (VNA) – Minister of Industry and Trade Tran Tuan Anh and General Director of China’s Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection, and Quarantine (AQSIQ) Zhi Shuping discussed measures to enhance trade and export links between the two countries in Ho Chi Minh City on May 31.

During the talks, representatives from the two agencies also looked at issues related to cross-border trade management and export-import goods quarantine.
