The MoU outlines the Associations’ plans to work together in the areas of trade and business matching, education and training, as well as exploring joint projects to attract funding for the sustainable development of Vietnam’s water and wastewater infrastructure and services.
AWA was represented by chief executive, Jonathan McKeown, while chairman and general secretary, Tran Quang Hung, signed on behalf of VWSA.
AWA chief executive, Jonathan McKeown, said that many opportunities existed for Vietnam and Australia to collaborate in areas such as supply and demand planning, water quality risk management, asset management and network operation, climate change, governance and regulation.
