Hue made the suggestion during his working session with Deputy Secretary of Agriculture Stephen Censky in Washington on June 26.

The Deputy PM also asked the U.S. side to step up import of Vietnamese mango while considering other kinds of fruits, including pomelo.

Censky said the U.S. will start to import Vietnamese star apple and is completing final procedures for importing mango.

The U.S. will also actively consider conditions for pangasius imports from Vietnam, Censky added.
