Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh spoke to U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Thomas Vilsack in a meeting on April 19, 2023. Pham Minh Chinh asked the U.S. to open its market further to Vietnamese agricultural products. The PM asked the U.S. to support Vietnam in promoting fast, sustainable, modern, and integrated agriculture; commercialize and enhance the value of agricultural products to benefit consumers as well as the economies of the two countries.
He hopes the U.S. will limit the use of unnecessary tools and technical barriers in agricultural trade with Vietnam, help to set up an irradiation facility in the north to facilitate the export of lychee, mango, pomelo, and dragon fruit, and support Vietnam in planning and building areas for raw materials in order to meet U.S. standards on safety and hygiene.
