At a meeting with OPCW General Director Fernando Arias in The Hague on Monday, Nam asked the organization to provide Vietnam with new or used chemical analysis equipment when upgrading the Center for Chemistry and Technology (Chemtech) to help Vietnam improve the capacity of its laboratories.

The Ambassador also asked the organization to recruit Vietnamese staff to work at the OPCW and Chemtech.
