Vietnam, Mexico cooperate in environmental protection

The Deputy Minister of Natural Resources and the Environment, Tran Hong Ha met with his Mexican counterpart Fernando Tudela on December 8, on the sidelines of the 16th Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP16).

At the meeting, they highlighted the similarities and potential for cooperation in the management of natural resources and environmental protection between Vietnam and Mexico.

Mr Tudela suggested that both ministries should step up cooperation in the management and planning of land use, natural resources, forests and environmental protection.

Mr Ha agreed upon effective measures for bilateral cooperation in areas where both counties are strong and invited Mr Tudela to visit Vietnam at his convenience and consider signing cooperation documents between the two ministries.

Both deputy ministers said that effective cooperation between Vietnam and Mexico would contribute to the results of international forums on protecting the environment and limiting the impact of global climate change.
