Deputy Prime Minister Tran Hong Ha has approved a geological and mineral strategy through 2030, targeting strategic minerals across Vietnam's mainland, coastal waters, and islands.
Vietnam has designated 48 areas of mineral reserves by 2020, and the surface of such areas has great potential for use for different purposes such as tourism or wind power, but investment in such projects is facing legal difficulties.
Deputy Prime Minister Trinh Dinh Dung on March 27 stressed the need for effective management and exploitation of minerals for sustainably developing the economy while ensuring national defence and security and protecting the environment.
