For his part, the Minister of Industry and Trade of Vietnam expressed readiness to implement joint projects in the field of animal husbandry, crop production and dairy processing. NGUYEN HONG Zien also invited Aidarbek Saparov to Vietnam to strengthen bilateral cooperation in the agro-industrial complex and introduce new joint projects, the press service of the Ministry of Agriculture of the Republic of Kazakhstan reported.
At the meeting between NGUYEN HONG Zien and Kazakh Minister of Trade Arman Shakkaliev, the latter in his speech noted the importance of effective work of the intergovernmental commission in building a constructive dialogue between the two countries.
