Deputy
PM Nhân made the statement during his visit to Japan’s
TsukubaSpaceCenter
on Wednesday.
He
said that the Vietnamese Government on June 14, 2006 approved a strategy for
space technology research and application until 2020 as the first legal
framework for Việt Nam
to develop the very industry.
Việt
Nam
is among five most vulnerable countries to impacts of the global climate
change, thus the need to develop space technologies to prevent natural
disasters and protect resources and environment is prioritized.
In
this regard, the country considered Japan first partner to share
experience of management skills, human resource and infrastructure preparations
for the industry, Deputy PM Nhân said.
