The seminar, the second of its kind between the countries in the field, was co-organised by the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment (MoNRE) and the German Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation, Building and Nuclear Safety (BMU).
MoNRE Deputy Minister Bui Cach Tuyen said Vietnam aims to develop more industrial zones and clusters to promote industrialisation and modernisation.
So far, Vietnam has made plans for nearly 1,000 industrial zones and clusters, with more than 800 of them fully operational at present, thus contributing to national development and responding to environmental challenges, Tuyen added.
BMU State Secretary Gunther Adler emphasised the urgent need for proper industrial wastewater treatment before discharging water back into the environment.
