Opening
of the Korea-Myanmar Vice Environment Ministers' Meeting and the Kachin State Biodiversity Research Laboratory
[Reporter, Kim Kyu-hoon of
Energy Daily] The
government will lay the groundwork for domestic environmental companies to
enter the Myanmar market to secure overseas greenhouse gas emission rights (two
million tons per year).
In a bid to support local environmental companies' advance into Myanmar, the Ministry of Environment (Minister,
Cho Myung-rae) sent
an environmental cooperation team led by Vice-minister of
ministry of Environment Park
Chun-kyu to the region for a five-day visit from 4th of
Dec.
An environmental cooperation team was established in November this year to
strengthen public-private environmental cooperation between the two countries
as part of follow-up measures to the South Korea-U.S. summit. Eleven major
domestic environmental companies, including HANATECH and Ecoeye, participated.
Through the dispatch, the Ministry of Environment has started to support the
Korean company's project to collect landfill gas at the Zani Khan landfill in
Mandalay, Myanmar, and to supply high-efficiency Cookstoves, a stove-type
cooking device.
In particular, the government will push for high-level diplomacy to win the
project to burn landfill gas at the Zani Khan landfill in Mandalay, which is being promoted by HANATECH, which has domestic technology for the only
landfill gas power generation facility in Korea.
It is expected to secure up to 2 million tons of carbon emissions per year with
local support for the high-efficiency Cookstove supply project being pursued by
Ecoeye.
Twenty-four major environmental companies and institutions from the two
countries attended the "Korea-Myanmar Environmental Enterprise
Roundtable" held on the afternoon of 4th
of Dec., in the
Lotte Hotel, Yangon in Myanmar, providing an opportunity to further
expand environmental cooperation between the two countries.
On 7th of Dec., the "5th Korea-Myanmar Vice-minister
of Ministry of Environment’ Meeting" will be held at the Putao Hotel in
Putao, Myanmar.
Vice-minister of ministry of Environment, Park Chun-kyu and Myanmar's Vice Minister for
Natural Resources and Environment Conservation, Ueminseo will discuss ways to follow up on the
summit's performance projects, including how to operate the Korea-Mekong
Biodiversity Center and detailed implementation plans, which they agreed to
establish at the Korea-Mekong summit.
The Korea-Mekong Biological Diversity Center, which will be set up in Nefido,
Myanmar in 2026, will be equipped with a sample storage, laboratory, natural
product lab, and mass growth plant, preserving biodiversity in the Mekong
region such as Myanmar, and making sustainable use of biological resources.
Both countries plan to develop the institution as a pivotal institution for
win-win cooperation between South Korea and Mekong.
Prior to the talks, the opening ceremony of the "Korea-Myanmar Kachin
State Biodiversity Research Laboratory" will be held in Putao, Kachin State, Myanmar.
The institute was established after the agreement reached at the third
Korea-U.S. Undersecretary of Environment meeting to promote joint research on
biodiversity in Kachin State, northern Myanmar, in a more systematic and
efficient manner in June last year.
The opening ceremony will be attended by some 40 officials from the central and
local governments of the two countries, including Park Chun-kyu, Vice-minister, Uket Aung Kachin, Governor of Myanmar and Ueminseo, Vice-minister of Natural Resources and Environment
Conservation.
The National Institute of Biological Resources, affiliated with the Ministry of
Environment, has been conducting joint research on biodiversity with Myanmar
for 8 years
since 2011, and has been conducting joint research on Khakaborazi and Poncari National Park in Kachin State since 2017.
On Nov. 26th, this year, Environment Minister Cho Myoung-rae and
Ambassador Danshin of the U.S. Forces Korea expanded and supplemented a
memorandum of understanding on environmental cooperation between South Korea
and Myanmar on the occasion of the "Korea-ASEAN Special Summit" in
Busan. Both countries pledged to expand cooperation in various environmental
areas, including environmental policy and technology, biodiversity
conservation, climate change and waste management.
Vice-minister
of ministry Environment, Park Chun-kyu said, "We will make efforts to
expand cooperation with Myanmar to the entire environmental sector so that we
can seek ways to preserve the environment and co-prosperity of the two
countries and visualize the results of the New Southern Policy."
