The Vietnam Association of Seafood Exporters and Producers (VASEP) and Belgium’s Port of Zeebrugge have signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) on the establishment of a tra fish distribution centre in the European Union (EU).
The move is part of an agreement between the Vietnamese and Belgian governments to bolster the country’s seafood exports and distribution to the EU, Vietnam News Agency (VNA) reported.
Belgian port chief executive officer Joachim Coens said Zeebrugge Port, which is positioned at a favourable location with easy access to the Le Havre port in France and German port of Hamburg, will serve as a gateway into the European market.
