Concluding the press conference, Deputy Minister of Agriculture and Environment Le Minh Ngan expressed his thanks to the press, media agencies and delegates who have always accompanied and spread the efforts to protect the environment, seas and islands of the country and the industry in recent times.

In 2025, Vietnam Sea and Islands Week is a call to promote the application of green technology and digital transformation, associated with the strategic vision of sustainable marine economic development - where Vietnam's sovereignty, resources, ecosystems and marine cultural heritage reside.

Through seminars, community activities, and innovation initiatives, the Ministry of Agriculture and Environment expects that blue ocean economic models will spread widely, not only domestically but also internationally. The proactive and creative participation of organizations, businesses, communities, and individuals is the driving force to realize a healthy, safe, resilient, and sustainably developed ocean.

Along with that, the series of activities responding to World Environment Day (June 5) and the Month of Action for the Environment in 2025 continue to be a strong reminder of the dangers of plastic waste, warning about the plastic waste disaster, especially in the oceans, rivers, coastal areas and urban life.

At the press conference, Deputy Minister Le Minh Ngan called on ministries, sectors, localities, businesses and people, press and media agencies, and social organizations to proactively and actively act for the environment in all socio-economic development plans; pioneer in innovating production models, developing environmentally friendly materials to replace plastic; accompany in education and communication work to change behavior, promote green lifestyles and sustainable consumption.

The Deputy Minister of Agriculture and Environment believes that, with the leadership of the Party, the synchronous participation of the entire political system, and the strong spread of the media and press, the topics "Green technology for a sustainable ocean" and "Fighting plastic pollution" will not only be a call, but will become concrete actions, spreading from the coast to the highlands, from urban to rural areas.
