The first Asia-Europe Meeting (ASEM) Forum on Energy Security opened here Friday, focusing its discussion on energy security policy, and ASEM cooperation on energy security and sustainable development.
Addressing at the two-day forum, Vietnamese Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Pham Gia Khiem said the forum will concentrate on policies on developing new and renewable energies, energy substitutes, maintaining traditional energies, intensifying energy security, and sharing experiences on energy policy planning, technology transfer, and investment facilitation, among ASEM members.
In the context of increasing oil prices and complicated international situations, ensuring energy security for sustainable development and reducing reliance on energy import are important contents in ASEM cooperation, he said.
ASEM is an informal process of dialogue and cooperation with 45 EU members, including the European Commission, European Union, and Asian countries.
