(VOV) -The event was held in Hanoi on March 13 by the Vietnam Development Communication Centre (VDIC) of the World Bank in coordination with the Republic of Korea (RoK)’s Development Institute (KDI) and the Global Development Learning Network (GDLN).
It aims to share the RoK and Japan’s experience in reforestation to promote sustainable growth in Vietnam and other countries in the Pacific and East Asian region.
The VDIC said deforestation has put local economies at the growing risk of serious damage caused by downstream flooding and climate change.
Technical Advisor to the General Director of the Royal Cambodian Forestry Hiroshi Nakata spoke highly of Vietnam’s current reforestation project covering five million hectares.
Kyung Joon Lee Professor Emeritus of Seoul National University introduced the successful implementation of the RoK’s reforestation projects with a focus on improving nursery quality.
