Hanoi (VNA) – The Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment’s General Department of Geology and Minerals held a workshop in Hanoi on October 3 to introduce the Czech Republic’s advanced technology in basic survey of geology and mining.
Speaking at the event, Deputy General Director of the department Nguyen Van Nguyen said Vietnam has so far received the Czech Republic’s assistance in making a map at scale of 1/50.000 and mineral survey.
The event affords both sides a chance to discuss the use of Vietnamese and Czech technologies in mineral mining and processing, he added.
