Mr. Pekka Hyvonen made the statement at the seminar “Clean Technology for Environment and Sustainable Development” on December 13 in Hà Nội.

The seminar is a good opportunity for enterprises of Việt Nam and Finland to discuss practical impacts of urbanization and industrialization, then putting forth specific joint programs to be implemented early next year.

The Ambassador said that Finnish leading experts and companies can supply Việt Nam with high-quality clean technology services, especially in key industries such as biotechnology, clean industrial process and effective energy using solutions.

According to Deputy Minister of Industry and Trade Lê Danh Vĩnh, Finland is the first country for Việt Nam to learn experience of clean technology. Clean technology cooperation is a springboard for enterprises of the two countries to foster trade and economic relations, he said.
