Minister of Agriculture R. Burmaa has received Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary Dang Duong.

At the beginning of the meeting, the Ambasador stressed that in order to expand co-operation in the agricultural sector, the sides should take their relationship to a new stage. 

The 16^th Intergovernmental Commission Meeting of the two countries will be organized in Mongolia next month. One goal of the meeting will be to create possibilities for the export of meat and meat products from Mongolia to Vietnam, and to strengthen activities in connection with the exportation of meat and meat products.  

The agricultural sector is considered the main and fundamental economic base of the development of Vietnam, and the tendencies of its development are directed towards the development of production in conjunction with domestic demand and export.

Vietnam says it is able to export rice, fruit, medicine, and seeds, and to receive imports of frozen meat, meat products and leather goods. Since a quarantine agreement hasn’t been established between the two countries, several difficulties are now being faced to move this exchange forward. Upon the resolution of a quarantine agreement, the issue of transit transportation also will be resolved.
