At the debate session on the future of electricity plants, the Vietnamese minister introduced Vietnam’s policy to boost its national energy security, particularly regarding renewable power, as well as the country’s role in connecting regional energy networks.

Anh stated that Vietnam has always complied with the requirements of the energy transition process and applied green power in a bid to ensure its commitments to protecting the environment as well as promoting energy safety and sustainable economic growth.
