Việt Nam commits to cross-border water development goals: Deputy PM

Việt Nam also engaged in the MRC’s model of cooperation which had garnered significant attention from many countries. He stressed that the use and exploitation of water should take into account local livelihoods, socio-economic activities, and preservation of traditional cultural values and ecosystems associated with transboundary water resources. The official proposed establishing UN agencies and bodies to coordinate and support sci-tech and financial activities, developing a global database on transboundary water resources, river basins and monitoring systems, and setting ethical standards for behaviours towards transboundary water resources. Kanem vowed to help Việt Nam effectively carry out the Country Programme for Việt Nam for 2022-2026, as well as study and enforce policies related to the Law on Gender Equality, prevention of gender-based violence, and response to population aging issues. Bechu said that France always considered Việt Nam one of the priority partners in the region.
