“To achieve sustainable development associated with a green economy and circular economy, Vietnam needs to establish a clear roadmap and use economic, social, and environmental indicators as tools to assess progress. Implementation requires close coordination among the Government, businesses, and the community,” National Assembly Deputy Nguyễn Quang Huân emphasized.
