Seafood exporters eye Middle East market

The United Arab Emirates (UAE) is not only a consumption market but also a gateway for Vietnamese aquatic products to penetrate the Middle Eastern and North African markets.

This was said by Ambassador Tran Ngoc Thach at a conference on Vietnamese seafood jointly held by the Vietnamese Embassy in the UAE and the Vietnam Association of Seafood Exporters and Producers (VASEP) in Abu Dhabi from November 21-23.

The Ambassador also reviewed the fast growth in trade relations between Vietnam and the UAE in recent years, particularly in the seafood sector.

For his part, UAE Deputy Minister of Foreign Trade Abdullah Ahmed Al Saleh said the conference will provide a good opportunity for both countries’ businesses to seek partners and boost cooperation.

The conference was part of the 2011 Middle Eastern Food Exhibition (SIAL Middle East), attended by nine Vietnamese exporters. – VOV
