Environment minister thanks the media
Minister of Natural Resources and Environment Nguyen Minh Quang has expressed his appreciation for the role of the media, which actively worked alongside the ministry to popularise information during 2014.
At a meeting with reporters in Hanoi on January 13, Quang described the media as an effective tool to uncover violations within the sector and keep the public informed about legal decisions, such as the 2013 Law on Land and the 2014 Law on Environmental Protection, as well as activities during the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change in Lima, Paris.
He also informed reporters of key tasks the ministry hopes to accomplish this year, including fine-tuning laws and policies on natural resources and the environment, especially the draft Law on Marine Resources and Environment and the draft Law on Meteorology and Hydrology.
The ministry also plans to establish a 2016-2020 strategy and draft a document guiding the implementation of the Law on Environmental Protection, including cracking down on violations and improving complaint and denunciation settlements.
Next June, the existing information technology system at international seaports will be connected to the National Single Window, a platform used to declare export and import goods.
Personnel will undergo additional training to improve professional skills and work ethic as part of a plan to build workforce capacity between 2012 and 2020.
The ministry will also extend its collaboration to foreign partners and maximise foreign resource use.
Quang expressed his hopes for stronger partnerships with the media this year.
