March 6, 2013| |
Vietnam defines India as a strategic partner in its international biotechnology research and development cooperation, which is considered crucial to green industry and sustainable development, said Deputy Minister of Science and Technology Chu Ngoc Anh. The minister made the statement on February 27 at an international conference held in Hanoi with the participation of scientists from technology research and development institutes in both Vietnam and India .
The Government of Vietnam considers biotechnology as one of the four prioritized science and technology–related areas in the country's socio-economic development strategy, said Anh. Participants in the two day event agreed that Vietnam and India share similarities in their agriculture-based economy. Therefore, biotechnology will play an important role in the development of both countries' "green industry".
