Vietnam, RoK intensify cooperation in environmental protection
PANO - Vietnamese Deputy Minister of Natural Resources and Environment Le Cong Thanh hosted a reception for the Republic of Korea’s Deputy Minister of Environment Kum Hang Seung on March 29 in Hanoi.
During the reception, Deputy Minister Le Cong Thanh spoke highly of the close relationship between Vietnam and the RoK over the past time, especially cooperation in the fields of environment, biodiversity, climate changes, and hydrometeorology, to name but a few.
He expressed his hope that the RoK would support Vietnam in mobilizing resources to settle down contaminated rivers; building a water resources database, and a real-time and early warning monitoring and management system for water resources in river basins, among others.
Responding to Mr. Thanh’s proposal, Korean Deputy Minister of Environment Kum Hang Seung said that the RoK is willing to assist Vietnam in dealing with environmental pollution, reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and adapting to climate change.
