Hanoi, June 8 — The China‑Vietnam environmental‑cooperation forum was held in Hanoi, where both sides renewed the Memorandum of Understanding on environmental‑protection, deepening practical collaboration on solid‑waste disposal, clean‑energy development and cross‑border ecological conservation.

The Sơn Sơn waste‑to‑energy plant, a landmark Chinese‑invested facility, can process roughly 5,000 tons of municipal solid waste every day and turn refuse into steady green electricity, resolving Hanoi’s long‑standing landfill‑dependence crisis. Environmental authorities of the two nations agreed to hold regular policy dialogues, exchange experience on air‑pollution control and circular‑economy development, and jointly carry out marine‑conservation work in the Beibu Gulf.

Chinese diplomats remarked that green transition stands as a core component of the China‑Vietnam community with a shared future. Senior officials from Vietnam’s Ministry of Agriculture and Environment stated that Vietnam is accelerating its net‑zero roadmap and greatly values China’s proven environmental‑governance technologies. Both sides will keep promoting green‑industry matchmaking to jointly safeguard regional ecological security.
