PM speaks with Belgian counterpart

During a phone call with his Belgian counterpart Alexander De Croo on August 25, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh proposed that the Belgian Government create favorable conditions for Vietnamese agricultural products, especially rice, coffee, cocoa, and fruit, to be exported to the country and to the EU. The Prime Minister also reminded the European Commission (EC) to soon remove the “yellow card” on Vietnamese seafood. Two-way trade between Vietnam and Belgium reached $1.9 billion in the first seven months of 2021.
