She also emphasized the importance of the two countries working together to address the climate change.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Speaking at the event, the Secretary to the Ministry, Dr. Jinadasa, requested the assistance in obtaining high-quality broodstock to rebuild the ornamental fish industry which is damaged by the disaster. The Ambassador, who responded favorably, agreed to provide the advanced technical knowledge and support of Vietnam, which holds a large share of the ornamental fish industry in the world market.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Furthermore, Vietnam expressed its willingness to share SPF Monodon shrimp hatchery techniques for the progress of the shrimp industry and provide the necessary technical expertise for that. It was also decided to update the existing Memorandum of Understanding on Fisheries Cooperation between the two countries to formalize these technical exchanges.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Attention was also drawn to involving Vietnamese investors in the fisheries sector in Sri Lanka through state-level programs. Specially, discussions were held on reducing production costs by directly obtaining Toray yarn and twines required by North Sea without intermediaries.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Ambassador further assured that these proposals would be implemented expeditiously in coordination with the Ministry of Agriculture and Environment of Vietnam.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2329ee1 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image-gallery\" data-id=\"2329ee1\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image-gallery.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-image-gallery\">\n\t\t\t<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-1431 gallery-columns-1 gallery-size-medium'><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a data-elementor-open-lightbox=\"yes\" data-elementor-lightbox-slideshow=\"2329ee1\" data-elementor-lightbox-title=\"WhatsApp_Image_2026-01-16_at_15.54.42\" data-e-action-hash=\"#elementor-action%3Aaction%3Dlightbox%26settings%3DeyJpZCI6MTQzNywidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6XC9cL3d3dy5maXNoZXJpZXMuZ292LmxrXC93cC1jb250ZW50XC91cGxvYWRzXC8yMDI2XC8wNlwvV2hhdHNBcHBfSW1hZ2VfMjAyNi0wMS0xNl9hdF8xNS41NC40Mi5qcGVnIiwic2xpZGVzaG93IjoiMjMyOWVlMSJ9\" href='https:\/\/www.fisheries.gov.lk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/WhatsApp_Image_2026-01-16_at_15.54.42.jpeg'><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fisheries.gov.lk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/WhatsApp_Image_2026-01-16_at_15.54.42-300x200.jpeg\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.fisheries.gov.lk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/WhatsApp_Image_2026-01-16_at_15.54.42-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.fisheries.gov.lk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/WhatsApp_Image_2026-01-16_at_15.54.42-1024x682.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.fisheries.gov.lk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/WhatsApp_Image_2026-01-16_at_15.54.42-768x512.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.fisheries.gov.lk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/WhatsApp_Image_2026-01-16_at_15.54.42-1536x1023.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/www.fisheries.gov.lk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/WhatsApp_Image_2026-01-16_at_15.54.42.jpeg 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Vietnam Ambassador assures to rebuild disaster-hit fisheries sector; Special focus on ornamental fish and shrimp industry A special discussion on obtaining technical cooperation to rebuild Sri Lanka\u2019s fisheries and aquaculture sector, which was hit by the recent disaster, was held between Dr. B.
