Speaking at the event, Minister Ha said during her tenure, UNDP Representative Wiesen stepped up cooperation between the UNDP and the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment (MONRE), especially in environmental protection and climate change response.

The Minister hailed the UNDP in Vietnam as one of the sponsors and multilateral development partners that has brought the most practical support to MONRE in state management, particularly the building and enforcement of natural resource and environmental laws, climate change response, blue sea economic development and dealing with plastic waste pollution.

UNDP Representative Wiesen, for her part, said the UNDP is willing to share experience and partner with the Vietnamese Government and MONRE in the field.

She affirmed that UNDP will promote cooperation with Vietnam in the near future.
