Vietnam is willing to increase cooperation in agricultural production and development with African countries, including Benin, said Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Pham Gia Khiem.
While receiving Benin Minister of Agriculture, Breeding and Fisheries Dovonou Roger in Hanoi on August 15, Mr Khiem welcomed the signing of a memorandum of understanding on agricultural cooperation between the two agriculture ministries during Minister Dovonou Roger’s visit from August 13-15.
Mr Khiem noted with satisfaction the positive development of the two countries’ relations since Benin President Boni Yayi’s visit to Vietnam in November 2006.
Earlier, the Benin minister held talks with Vietnamese Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development Cao Duc Phat. They exchanged views on agricultural development and discussed measures to increase bilateral cooperation in the field.
They reached a consensus on bilateral cooperation in planning Benin’s Niger and Oueme valleys, including the sending of Vietnamese experts to Benin, the supply of varieties and training.
