Prime
Minister Nguyen Tan Dung met Prof. Cees Veerman, advisor to the Vietnamese
Prime Minister on climate change, flood control and water resource management,
in The Hague on Sept. 29 during his official visit to the Netherlands.
Vietnam considers climate change resilience as
the country’s vital issue and mobilises resources from all of society for
implementation of solutions, said PM Dung, adding that Vietnam is very
interested in the way the Netherlands has managed water resources and flood
control.
He thanked Prof. Cees Veerman and his
associates in helping Vietnam to build the Mekong Delta Master Plan and asked
the professor to continue coordinating and checking data and to formulate
solutions in the context of water resource security issues facing Vietnam as a
series of hydropower projects are being planned on the Mekong River .
The PM also asked the professor and his
associates to propose the Government of the Netherlands support part of the
expense for building the plan in Vietnam .
Prof. Cees Veerman said that the Dutch had
sent experts to Vietnam to coordinate research on coping with climate change in
the Mekong Delta and a meeting will be convened in Vietnam in November to
gather reports to submit to the Prime Minister later this year.
With soil similarity between the Mekong Delta
and the Netherlands , the European country wants to share experience and
transfer advanced technology and solutions on water resource management to
Vietnam , he said.
He affirmed his intention to cooperate with
relevant Vietnamese agencies to build a vision for the sustainable development
of the Mekong Delta during the next 100 years.
Prof. Cees Veerman, former agriculture
minister of the Netherlands , is interested in assisting Vietnam to deal with
issues impacted by climate change. He accepted the invitation to become head of
the advisory group on climate change for the Prime Minister.
