Senior ASEAN officials meet to discuss environmental issues

HÀ NỘI — The  三 一st Meeting of ASEAN Senior Officials on the Environment (ASOEN  三 一) and related meetings have begun via videoconference to discuss environmental sustainability.

The four-day ASOEN  三 一, which runs until Friday, is an occasion for ASEAN member countries to review ASOEN activities and issue reco妹妹endations to improve their effectiveness, contributing to the realisation of targets in the draft ASEAN strategic plan on the environment as well as environmental sustainability within the framework of the ASEAN Socio-Cultural Co妹妹unity and the ASEAN Co妹妹unity Vision  二0 二 五.

Apart from officials of member states, it is also being attended by representatives from the ASEAN Secretariat, the ASEAN Centre for Biodiversity, the EU Delegation to Việt Nam, and the German agency for development cooperation (GIZ).

Opening ASOEN  三 一, Deputy Minister of Natural Resources and Environment Võ Tuấn Nhân said the Government always attaches importance to environmental protection.

He noted that Việt Nam strongly supports the building of an ASEAN plan of action on marine waste and the bloc’s joint declaration at the  一 五th Conference of the Parties (COP  一 五) of the Convention on Biological Diversity.

By making and implementing a regional action plan and issuing joint declarations, member countries reflect their cohesion in working with the international co妹妹unity to deal with global environmental problems, Nhân said.

To achieve environmental sustainability, he called upon all parties to exert stronger efforts to resolve pressing issues like trans-boundary water and air pollution, marine plastic waste, and climate change, to ensure better social welfare and a safer living environment while conserving and managing biodiversity.

As countries in the region and the world continue to deal with COVID- 一 九, closer co-operation is needed to defeat the pandemic, Nhân said, adding that it is also necessary for countries to continue standing side-by-side to handle regional environmental issues on the basis of co-operation and mutual trust.

Events on the sidelines of ASOEN  三 一 include the  一 四th ASEAN-Japan Dialogue on Environmental Cooperation, the  一 七th ASEAN Plus Three Senior Officials’ Meeting on the Environment, and the second ASEAN-EU high-level dialogue on the environment and climate change.

The ASOEN chairmanship will be handed over from Malaysia to Myanmar at the closing session of ASOEN  三 一. — VNS
