Speaking at the ceremony, Vice Chairman of Hanoi People's Committee Nguyen Doan Toan emphasized: "This is not only the first project in Vietnam and the region, transforming waste into electricity but also symbolizing friendship between Vietnam and Japan. It is one of the important steps in the effort to protect the environment and recycle waste for industrial development purposes in Hanoi."
