Vietnam: Vietnamese renewable energy visit to Denmark 24-25th October
In order to draft and implement policy measures supporting the development of renewable energy in Viet Nam, learning from and sharing experiences with countries successful in this field is a vital instrument to proceed on the outlined path. Under the German (GIZ) renewable energy co-operation with Viet Nam, a delegation visited Germany and Denmark during the period 21-25th October 2013 with the participation of high ranking delegates involved in the development of strategy and policy for renewable energy development in Viet Nam.
