Germany and Australia inked a joint declaration on providing assistance to Vietnam’s environment and energy in Hanoi on March 8.
The declaration, inked by Germany’s Minister of Development and Cooperation (BMZ) Dirk Niebel and Deputy Director of the Australian International Development Agency (AusAID) Richars Moore, laid out specific targets of forming and implementing a joint financial programme that is in line with Vietnam’s national socio-economic development programme.
According to the document, support from the BMZ and AusAID will focus on helping Vietnam address environmental issues and climate change, such as improving coastal area management capacity, conservation of biological diversity, promotion of renewable energy and energy efficiency.
Germany and Australia have earlier jointly conducted a project on protecting mangrove forest in the Mekong delta province of Kien Giang.
Minister of Planning and Investment Vo Hong Phuc said the coordination of the two foreign donors is expected to enhance the effectiveness of foreign-funded projects for the socio-economic development in Vietnam.
In the coming time, the model of coordinated projects between Germany and Australia will continue to be multiplied in other Mekong delta provinces and in other fields./.
