Luong Le Phuong, Vietnam’s deputy minister of Agriculture and Rural Development, said Vietnamese businesses and farmers appreciated the senators who understood them and their hard lives in the country.
Phuong told Thanh Nien Daily Friday that the senators clearly understood the impact the inspections would have had on the Vietnamese fish market and two-way trade ties in general.
He said some US senators had firsthand experience visiting fish farms in the Mekong Delta.
