These products are naturally exploited, managed and certified by the Vietnamese side with a similar process, it said.
The Chinese side suggested that Vietnam should conduct quarantine tests and issue certificates in the form agreed by the two parties so that Vietnam’s seafood products can be exported to China smoothly.
With the latest agreement, 48 kinds of Vietnamese seafood are now being exported to the Chinese market.
