Chairman of the Hanoi People's Committee is also committed to developing Hanoi in a sustainable way and looking forward to working and building partnerships with Hanoi, to build green, clean and beautiful city. 

In particular, the ASEAN's special envoy also introduced the new plasma technology in waste treatment, which allows the generation of electricity from waste that has a fourfold increase in power and can provide a large amount of power. 

Chairman of Hanoi People's Committee Nguyen Duc Chung said that Hanoi is planning to build four garbage treatment plants and welcomes the cooperation from Sheychelle on the basis of signing a Memorandum of Understanding with Vietnam Chamber of Commerce and Industry (VCCI). At present, the amount of waste in Hanoi is 6,000 tons per day and night and will increase to 8,000 tons per day by 2020.

In addition to investment from the Republic of Sheychelle, Hanoi also expressed willingness to buy technology to build synchronized garbage treatment plants.
