Japan vows to help VN cleanse its water sources

Ha Noi: The Japanese Government has pledged to help Viet Nam manage its natural resources, through the construction of a high-tech water analysis and monitoring laboratory

The director of the National Center formally approved the US$ 3.47 million project in Hanoi yesterday for Science and Technology Dang Vu Mink and the managing director of Mica’s Social Development Co-operation Department Sizemore Mitsuru.

The project aims to allow researchers to use the latest methods in the analysis and treatment of water pollution.

Japanese experts will also help Viet Nam in its research, and conduct experiments in water resources management.

The outcomes of the experiments will be used to train environmental students and experts.

The project is expected to begin in November and finish by 2006. The JICA official told the opening ceremony that the agency will bring the equipment to Vietnam very soon.
