Solutions to promote cooperation in clean water supplies and environmental hygiene between France and Vietnam were discussed at a seminar in Paris, France, on September 7.
The seminar was held within the framework of the bilateral cooperation agreement that was signed in Paris between France’s Ministry for Ecology, Sustainable Planning and Development and Vietnam’s Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources in Paris in June 2007.
When addressing the event, the President of the French Development Agency (AFD) Pierre-Andre Perissol, highlighted the effective joint initiatives underway to ensure sustainable use of water resources while keeping a hygienic environment.
The Vietnamese Ambassador to France Le Kinh Tai, praised France for its support to Vietnam in this field.
He emphasised the significance of the effective use and exploitation of water resources for an emerging economy like Vietnam’s, which, he said, is a strategic issue that requires the efforts and cooperation of every concerned party.
The Vietnamese diplomat also briefed the delegates on Vietnam’s socio-economic development targets for clean water supplies and environment hygiene in 2010.
He said that France and Vietnam will both benefit if they promote bilateral ties in this field.
The seminar focused on Vietnam’s water and environmental hygiene issues and the experiences of a number of businesses when penetrating the Vietnamese market./.
