Mexico eyes Vietnam aquaculture market

Veracruz State Governor Fidel Herrera has expressed interest in boosting relations with Vietnam, the aquaculture sector, in particular among others.

Herrera and Vietnamese Ambassador to Mexico Pham Van Que met in the central Mexican state during the latter's visit from January 31 to February 2 at the former's invitation.

The Mexican state governor expressed his interest in stronger bilateral relations after speaking highly of the Vietnamese economy's dynamic growth in recent years.

Que also highlighted Vietnam's socio-economic achievements during the renewal, especially its economic potential and major exports as opportunities for the two countries to cash in on.

Two-way trade revenues between Vietnam and Mexico reached US$550 million up to November, 2009, equivalent to the entire 2008 figure, Que said.

He emphasised that the result despite the worst global economic downturns since the crisis in 1930 has shown the great efforts made by the two countries to match trade with political and diplomatic relations.
