新西兰与越南扩大农业贸易及合作
新西兰农业及贸易部长托德·麦克莱表示，新西兰与越南正在进一步加强双边贸易与合作关系。
麦克莱说，两国通过扩大市场准入，再次确认了双边关系的稳固基础，并将为一系列农产品创造新的贸易机会。
“越南和新西兰通过新的市场准入安排，进一步彰显了两国牢固的双边关系。这将为两国生产商、出口商和消费者带来实际利益。”
根据新的市场准入安排，越南消费者很快将能够购买新西兰优质蜂蜜、鹿茸和鹿肉；与此同时，新西兰消费者也将迎来更多来自越南的高品质鲜花和绿植产品，包括康乃馨、雏菊、兰花和百合。
两国同时签署了一份新的《合作安排备忘录》，旨在加强农业、渔业和林业领域的合作。
麦克莱表示，这项新安排体现了越南和新西兰生产商在相关领域积累的丰富经验与专业能力，也反映出两国之间的高度互信。
他说：“这项安排体现了两国深化合作的共同愿景，并将为双方创造更多实际利益。”
合作领域包括农业科研、技术应用、可持续农业发展以及能力建设等。
麦克莱表示，新西兰与越南的关系正不断深化。
去年，两国将双边关系提升至全面战略伙伴关系，并迎来建交50周年。
麦克莱表示，新西兰政府将继续致力于发展与越南的重要关系，扩大双边贸易，并为两国生产商创造更多共同发展的机会。
New Zealand and Viet Nam boost agricultural trade and cooperation
New Zealand and Viet Nam are strengthening bilateral trade and cooperation, says Agriculture and Trade Minister Todd McClay.
“Viet Nam and New Zealand have reaffirmed the strength of their bilateral relationship through new market access that will create opportunities for a range of agricultural products,” Mr McClay says. “This reflects the strong partnership between our countries and will deliver benefits for producers, exporters and consumers on both sides.
“Consumers in Viet Nam will soon be able to enjoy premium New Zealand honey, deer velvet, and venison, while New Zealanders can look forward to high-quality Vietnamese flowers and foliage, including carnations, daisies, orchids and lilies.”
Viet Nam and New Zealand also signed a new Memorandum of Arrangement, aimed at boosting cooperation in agriculture, fisheries and forestry.
“The new arrangement recognises the significant experience and expertise of Vietnamese and New Zealand producers,” Mr McClay says. “It reflects the high level of trust between our countries and supports our shared ambition to deepen cooperation and deliver benefits for both sides.”
Areas of cooperation include research, technology, sustainable agriculture, and capability development. Todd McClay says the Viet Nam and New Zealand relationship continues to go from strength to strength.
“Last year Viet Nam and New Zealand elevated the relationship to a Comprehensive Strategic Partnership, marking 50 years of diplomatic relations. The Government remains fully committed to our important relationship with Viet Nam, growing bilateral trade, and creating mutual opportunities for producers.”
