He emphasised the importance of efforts and the need forinternational cooperation in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals.
As Vietnam commits to transitioning to a greener andlow-carbon economy after the COVID-19 pandemic, this is really the right timeto mainstream the circular economy to effectively manage resources, limitemissions and waste, as well as boost environmental regeneration.
Studying international experience, including from Nordiccountries, on circular economy development will help Vietnam have more policysuggestions suitable to its actual conditions to build a strong economy, thuscontributing to improving the quality of life, he added.

In addition, it is necessary to maximise the public-privatepartnership model in building and developing a circular economy, she stressed.
