Deputy PM Ha will deliver a keynote speech on green transformation and energy transition, according to Vietnamese Ambassador to Belgium and head of the Vietnamese Delegation to the EU Nguyen Van Thao.
This will reiterate Vietnam’s determination and specific actions in fulfilling commitments made at the 26th UN Climate Change Conference of the Parties (COP 26) in Glasgow in 2021, as well as establishing a partnership on fair energy transition between Vietnam, the G7, and the EU last December, when PM Pham Minh Chinh visited the EU.
A cooperation agreement will be signed during the visit between the European Investment Bank (EIB) and the Vietnamese Ministry of Finance, a concrete step taken by Vietnam in implementing the Just Energy Transition Partnership.
Thao added that EU leaders and officials will hold meetings with Deputy PM Ha and his entourage, demonstrating the EU's high regard for its relationship with Vietnam. The diplomat expressed his belief that with the promotion of cooperation between Vietnam and the EU in new areas such as green development, sustainability, digital economy, and blue economy, their collaboration will yield even better outcomes.
