At a working session with CSIRO leaders, Mr. Chinh hailed the sound cooperation between Vietnam and CSIRO, and said CSIRO is on the right track with its studies on digital transformation, green transition, innovation, and agriculture, which are in line with Vietnam’s development policies.
He said the collaboration in science-technology, innovation, climate change response, digital transformation, and green transition is boundless, and the Australian Government’s 1.3-billion-USD finance facility for trade and investment promotion with ASEAN should be tapped to implement practical and specific programs and projects.
He urged CSIRO and its Vietnamese partners to remove cooperation roadblocks, and said the Vietnamese Government will create mechanisms and policies to ensure that cooperation programs are carried out smoothly.
