AANZFTA goes through

The Prime Minister has approved the ASEAN - Australia - New Zealand Free Trade Agreement (AANZFTA), under which the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development will work with Australia to carry out two projects to analyse the risks of epidemics in animals and how to detect pesticide residues on exported fruits and vegetables.

The Ministry of Industry and Trade will discuss with the relevant agencies about a plan to keep localities and businesses informed of the content of the agreement.

The AANZFTA signed in February 27 2009 in Thailand underlines the need for ASEAN members including Vietnam and the Australian and New Zealand governments to promote and economic and trade links in the region.
