The UAE wants to partner with Vietnam on renewables: UAE Minister of State for Foreign Trade Thani Al Zeyoudi headed a government delegation to Indonesia yesterday where he met with Vietnam’s Industry and Trade Minister Nguyen Hong Die to discuss progress on establishing a comprehensive economic partnership agreement between both countries that would focus in part on the renewable energy, food security, and green economy sectors, Wamreports. Vice President of Vietnam Vo Thi Anh Xuan met with Masdar CEO Mohamed Al Ramahi last month to discuss potential renewables collaboration. Vietnam plans to more than double its power generation capacity to 150 GW by 2030 by sourcing power from wind energy, among other sources. The country aims to become carbon-neutral by 2050.
