Southeast Asian steel exhibition gets underway in Da Nang

Upon addressing the event, Nghiem Xuan Da, chairman of the Vietnam Steel Association, emphasized that the event themed “Surviving and thriving in the decarbonized world”, is expected to provide an ideal platform for representatives from various nations to share technologies and innovations towards green and circular economic development.

He underlined the need to accelerate the transition towards a green economy, which is an inevitable trend as part of efforts to meet market demands.

Furthermore, he underscored the importance of renovating technologies rapidly in a bid to reduce carbon dioxide emissions, as well as applying artificial intelligence to improve productivity in order to ensure social and environmental responsibility.

Countries must therefore work together in a bid to ensure equitable development, whilst also making commitments to deploy drastic actions in response to climate change in many different contexts, he said, adding that steel companies in the nation must exert every effort as they seek to reduce carbon emissions and save energy in the future.

At the conference, international and domestic business representatives, experts, and scientists all came together to exchange information on policies and legal regulations of Vietnam, the region, and the world with the aim of helping steel enterprises to devise proper business plans in accordance with the country's green growth strategy.
