The Vietnam-Mongolia Intergovernmental Committee on Economic, Trade,
Scientific and Technological Cooperation convened for the 15th time on
March 18, aimed at further strengthening and increasing cooperation
between the two countries in various fields.
Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development Cao Duc Phat and Mongolian
Minister of Industry and Agriculture Kh.Battulga briefed each other
on the political and socio-economic situation in either country.
The two ministers praised both sides’ cooperation in many fields.
However, cooperation results had not yet met the two sides’ potential,
especially in sectors that they have strengths, including agriculture,
they said.
They reviewed the results of agreements signed at the last meeting.
Their joint-venture projects on veterinary medicine, animal feed
production and organic vegetable farming (in Mongolia), and pig,
poultry and high-yield dairy and cattle farming (in Vietnam) were
also put on the table for discussion.
Phat said
Vietnam could supply rice, fruit, tea and sugar and other farm produce
to Mongolia , and wishes to import animal meat, tanned leather and
wool from the country.
Kh.Battulga proposed
Vietnamese experts go to his country and select enterprises that could
meet Vietnam ’s requirements in animal meat production and others.-VNA
