Vietnam's Minister of Agriculture and Environment Tran Duc Thang and Deputy Director General of the General Administration of Customs of China (GACC) Zhao Tang Lien signed a Protocol in Beijing on November 27, allowing the export of Vietnamese fresh jackfruit to China.
During their meeting, Minister Thang affirmed that the leaders of the Party and State of Vietnam always value strengthening cooperation with China in many fields, especially agriculture and the environment. The Minister highlighted the important role of the Chinese market for Vietnam's foreign trade, with two-way trade turnover steadly growing (the trade value in the first 10 months of 2025 was higher than the total value for the entire year of 2024).
Minister Thang believes that the bilateral cooperation in the fields of agriculture, forestry, and fisheries needs to be more focused and strongly promoted in the future.
Mr. Zhao, for his part, emphasized the "long-term, friendly, and good" cooperative relationship between Vietnam and China. Appreciating the results achieved in agricultural trade in 2025, he shared that by the end of October 2025, China had imported $8.7 billion worth of agricultural products from Vietnam, demonstrating close coordination between agencies of the two countries.
This year, four protocols between the two countries have been signed regarding the export of chili, passion fruit, rice bran, and raw bird's nests.
