Việt Nam, Czech Republic to strengthen cooperation in environment protection

HÀ NỘI — Việt Nam and the Czech Republic will boost cooperation in environment protection and natural resources management, said Deputy Minister of Natural Resources and Environment Le Công Thanh. He underscored that Việt Nam has enacted the 2020 Law on Environmental Protection, featuring groundbreaking regulations on recycling, reusing waste, and promoting cutting-edge technologies for energy recovery through waste incineration. Furthermore, Việt Nam, in collaboration with international partners, is actively realising the Political Declaration on establishing the Just Energy Transition Partnership (JEPT).
