During the official visit to Vietnam of Chinese Prime Minister Li Qiang, on the evening of October 13, at the Government Headquarters, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh and Chinese Prime Minister Li Qiang enjoyed Bac Ninh folk songs, Dong Ho folk paintings and visited the exhibition of special Vietnamese agricultural products exported to China, reported the Government Newspaper.
In the gentle, smooth melody of the Quan Ho song "Inviting water, inviting betel", the Bac Ninh Quan Ho artists introduced and invited the two Prime Ministers and the members of the "phoenix-winged betel".
Next, after witnessing and learning more about the printing technique; the meaning and artistic value of Dong Ho paintings, the two Prime Ministers directly experienced printing paintings in the way Dong Ho artisans performed, with the painting "Riding a buffalo and playing the flute", one of the typical, traditional scenes, depicting the peaceful scene of the Vietnamese countryside.
After enjoying Dong Ho paintings, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh and Prime Minister Ly Cuong visited the exhibition of some special agricultural products of Vietnam exported to China such as: bird's nest, durian, fresh coconut, banana, coffee, milk... These are typical agricultural products of Vietnam officially exported to the Chinese market.
China has always been identified as the largest and most important export market for agricultural, forestry and fishery products of Vietnam. In the first 9 months of 2024, the export turnover of agricultural, forestry and fishery products to China reached 9.26 billion USD, of which the export turnover of vegetables and fruits reached 3.4 billion USD, an increase of 36% over the same period in 2023.
With this result, China continues to be a major export market for Vietnamese fruits and vegetables in the past 9 months. However, there is still much room for Vietnam's agricultural exports to China.
