During the visit, the two sides placed special emphasis on issues relating to illegal wildlife trade that was extremely serious in many countries all over the world nowadays, including Vietnam. Assoc. Prof. Dr. Tran Minh Chat stated that Vietnam Government and Public Security Ministry have been interested in the wildlife protection so far. Thus, the situation of wildlife trafficking has been repelled recently. However, like other nations, Vietnam has still met with difficulties. Therefore, the PPA desired the USAID to have more consultation for Vietnam.
