Vietnam is drawing up a planning scheme on national electricity development for 2021-2030 with a vision towards 2045, which sets three major orientations in energy restructuring.
Accordingly, the country will step up the diversification of energy resources. To that end, it has issued many mechanisms promoting the development of wind, solar and biomass power, as well as electricity from solid waste.

For the Vietnam-Russia ties, Chinh said Vietnam always treasures the traditional friendship, covering cooperation in energy that has borne fruit over the past decades.
Oil and gas collaboration is an important pillar of the Vietnam-Russia comprehensive strategic partnership, he affirmed.
Vietnam will further consolidate its institutions, policies and laws to support the energy sector, promote public-private partnership, and create optimal conditions for enterprises from Russia and other countries to operate in energy in Vietnam, the PM affirmed.
Chinh’s speech has been appreciated by other delegates at the event.
Initiated by the Russian Government in 2017, the Russian Energy Week is an important event in the energy sector, which serves as a platform for discussions on development and international cooperation in energy. It brings together leaders from many countries, international organisations and major businesses in energy./.
