PM Chinh advocated building a shared understanding and a shared global approach to protecting the environment and public health. He urged developed nations to honor commitments on finance, technology transfer, and human resources training.
Vietnam supports Brazil’s priorities at COP30, which underscore the importance of achieving breakthroughs in climate finance and call for innovative green financing mechanisms and stronger private sector involvement, the Vietnamese PM said.

He stressed the need for countries to increase cooperation in developing green technologies, digital infrastructure, and knowledge-sharing to narrow development gaps.
“We believe that ‘there’s no substitute for the Earth, no asset more valuable than health, and no foundation more solid than humanity,’ said Mr. Chinh, adding, “Vietnam stands ready to join BRICS and other countries in achieving shared carbon neutrality goals, while making active, responsible, and effective contributions to global cooperation mechanisms on the environment, climate change, and health.”
“Only through collective action can we leave future generations a thriving planet, a prosperous world, and a happy humankind,” the Vietnamese government leader noted.
