Vietnam and New Zealand will spur food safety cooperation, said Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development Cao Duc Phat at a recent meeting with New Zealand's Minister for Food Safety and Associate Minister for Primary Industries Jo Goodhew in Hanoi.

Vietnam has paid special attention to ensuring food safety, considering it a key task of the sector this year and in the future, he told his guest.

Through a new cooperative program, Vietnam and New Zealand will share their experience in personnel training, develop an institution, and implement food safety criteria in the agricultural sector, using new models to supply safe food.

On the occasion, the two countries signed a plan of action on food safety and animal and plant quarantine, and a food safety cooperation agreement.
