The province is determined to develop into a strong maritime economic center of the country, so Denmark is also one of the countries with advantages in the fields of maritime transport, shipbuilding, etc., and can coordinate and exchange experiences to help An Giang province achieve the goal of becoming a strong maritime economic center of the country.

An Giang province is implementing a high-tech marine farming project to both develop the economy and create livelihoods for fishermen, while actively carrying out the task of preventing IUU fishing.

It is known that Denmark is an active member and will assume the rotating presidency of the European Union in the last 6 months of 2025. Chairman of the People's Committee of An Giang province, Ho Van Mung, informed the Ambassador about the province's efforts in combating IUU fishing.

In recent times, under the strong direction and leadership of the Party and State, An Giang province, together with localities nationwide, has actively carried out the task of preventing IUU fishing; strictly implementing the recommendations of the European Commission EC so that Vietnam can soon remove the yellow card.

Hopefully, the Danish Government and Ministry of Foreign Affairs will continue to support and back Vietnam in the process of requesting the European Commission to soon remove the IUU "Yellow Card" for Vietnam's seafood exports.
