Minister Nghi said that the Finnish Government and Ministry have supported his Ministry in various fields, especially water supply and drainage and clean water management.
He expressed his wish that in the coming time, the Finnish Ministry will cooperate with the Ministry of Construction to study solutions to ensure the quality of water and water supply service in urban areas; study the organisation and management model of water supply for urban and rural areas; and coordinate with and support Vietnam in building the Law on Water Supply and Drainage.
Antti Kurvinen affirmed that as the Ministry of Construction is an important partner of Finland in matters related to clean water, her country is always willing to share management experience and concretise cooperation activities with Vietnam.
As the two countries are about to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the establishment of their diplomatic ties in 2023, he said he hopes they will promote collaboration in the fields of economics, politics and trade, particularly in agriculture, forestry and renewables.
The two Ministers agreed to soon sign a memorandum of understanding on bilateral cooperation.
