Mr. Shinoda Takanobu, Deputy Chief Representative of the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA), said: "This visit aims to help people gain a deeper understanding of the cooperative relationship between Japan and Vietnam. In particular, through allowing children to directly observe and learn on-site about Japanese ODA projects contributing to environmental infrastructure and sustainable urban development, we expect this will be an opportunity for them to gain a clearer understanding of these efforts."
Through a visit to the Yen Xa Wastewater Treatment Plant, students learned about the wastewater treatment mechanism and the application of Japanese technology and experience. This helped them better understand the current state of environmental sanitation in Hanoi , as well as the contribution of public projects and works in improving living conditions.
"We hope these experiences will spark the children's interest in environmental and development issues, from everyday hygiene problems to global challenges, helping them develop a broad perspective and become future leaders capable of addressing international issues," emphasized Mr. Shinoda Takanobu.
The Yen Xa project is the largest wastewater treatment plant construction project in Hanoi, and also a crucial project in Japan's ODA cooperation aimed at addressing rapid urbanization and environmental issues in the capital, contributing to pollution prevention and improving water quality.
The Yen Xa wastewater treatment plant has adopted and utilized Japanese technology and expertise, becoming a symbol of cooperation between Vietnam and Japan. This project contributes to improving water quality, enhancing urban sanitation, and minimizing flood risks in Hanoi. More importantly, the project contributes to improving the quality of life for residents through improved sanitation conditions.
"We expect that the completion of the wastewater treatment system will encourage Hanoi residents to pay more attention to drainage and environmental sanitation," said Shinoda Takanobu.
During the visit, Ms. Kotani Hikari, a teacher at the Hanoi Japanese School, stated that the tour aimed to help students learn about and directly observe the wastewater treatment process and better understand the effectiveness of international cooperation projects between Japan and other countries, including Vietnam. The school hopes this activity will help students raise their awareness of environmental issues and wastewater treatment processes.
"Through the students' direct experience of JICA's cooperation, they will not only understand the meaning of international cooperation but also develop a proactive awareness of contributing to society. JICA aims for national and societal development through sustainable development, and this is closely linked to people's lives. We hope that the students realize that to build a prosperous world , the awareness and actions of each individual are extremely important. At the same time, we hope that they will pay attention to many issues, from local to global issues, so that they can act responsibly for the future and contribute to building a better society. This is not only for the Japanese school students participating today, but we also hope that Vietnamese people will pay more attention to development issues and challenges, and proactively take positive actions to build a better society together in the context of Vietnam's strong development," said Mr. Shinoda Takanobu. know.
