Vietnam does not dump aquaculture exports
(VOV) - Vietnamese companies did not dump their catfish fillets and frozen products into the US market, said Foreign Ministry spokesperson Le Hai Binh at a regular Foreign Ministry press briefing on November 20.
“The US Trade Committee’s levying anti-dumping taxes on the products was unfair and contradicted to free trade and fine development in bilateral economic ties of the Vietnam-US comprehensive partnership.” Binh stated.
He said the recent WTO ruling in favor of Vietnamese companies was a positive sign and it would encourage the farming, processing and exports of frozen shrimps in Vietnam.
In reply to questions on Vietnam's measures to protect its citizens in Hong Kong (China) amidst signs of escalating tensions, Binh said immediately after being aware of the situation in Hong Kong, the Foreign Ministry requested Vietnam’s General Consulate in Hong Kong to take necessary measures to manage all information on the Vietnamese community and provide crucial warnings.
The lives and property of the Vietnamese community in Hong Kong are safe, he added.
