HÀ NỘI - Việt Nam's delegation will attend the 26th World Energy Congress (WEC) themed "Redesigning Energy for People and Planet" in the Netherlands from April 22 to 25, according to the press conference held by the Vietnam World Energy Council on Friday.

Titathy Nguyen, President of WEC Vietnam, stated that the press conference was organised to promote communications on the event and guide individuals and organisations in Việt Nam to participate in a globally scaled programme, getting updated on important global energy-related issues.

The goal of achieving net-zero emissions by 2050 would require the country’s high determination, great effort, and mobilisation of all resources for investment in development and ensuring social welfare across sectors, she said.

Attending the 26th World Energy Congress, Vietnamese businesses would have an opportunity to get updated on the latest trends in the energy sector and global financial resources, enabling them to develop solutions and products using cleaner and more efficient energy, Titathy Nguyen said, adding that this would help firms not only create new business opportunities but also enhance their international competitiveness and promote sustainable development.

WEC Vietnam took the occasion to launch a series of projects themed “Eternal green – Offsetting carbon footprint”.

Established in 1923, the WEC is a global energy agency recognised by the UN to represent all forms of energy, and is also a strategic partner of a number of key organisations in the energy sector.

The WEC has more than 3,000 member organisations including WEC National Committees in nearly 100 countries around the world. The WEC hosts the World Energy Congress triennially.
