Electrification is a key national priority for Vietnam, playing an important role in supporting Vietnam’s commitments to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and achieve net zero by 2050.

Representatives of STAMEQ were Dr. Ha Minh Hiep – Acting Director-General and speakers attending the discussion sessions of the 2-day Conference. ULSE’s side was lead by Mr. Kolin Low – ULSE Regional Director.
