Vietnam’s Ministry of Natural Resources and the Environment, and Italy’s Ministry of the Environment, Land and Sea signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) on cooperation in Hanoi on June 5.
The pact aims to lay a basis for technical cooperation in environmental management and protection by the two ministries.
Speaking at the signing ceremony, Deputy Minister of Natural Resources and the Environment Le Cong Thanh lauded the Italian ministry’s performance in environmental management and protection as well as the results of bilateral cooperation in this sphere.
He said his ministry wants to collaborate with and learn from Italian experience in response to climate change.
Thanh asked the Italian side to continue assisting Vietnam in running a project on improving flood forecasting, along with creating a warning system in the south central region, and in developing legal documents to implement a law on hydro-meteorology.
The official said Vietnam also needs Italian support to complete a draft project on upgrading the assessment and monitoring system for water management in the Ba and Hong river basins.
Thanh suggested Italy consider helping Vietnam create policies to assess climate change and increase capacity in using the geographic information technology.
Francesco La Camera, Director General for Sustainable Development, Energy and Climate at the Italian Ministry of the Environment, Land and Sea, said Italy is willing to cooperate with Vietnam in climate change response, waste management and hydro-meteorology.
Apart from expert assistance, Italy will work with Vietnam to build projects suitable for local conditions and facilitate the participation of Italian businesses in bilateral cooperative ventures, he noted.
