A Vietnamese delegation led by Deputy Minister of Science and Technology Lê Xuân Định took part in the World Nuclear Energy Summit in Paris on Tuesday, reaffirming the country’s commitment to strengthening international cooperation in atomic energy for peaceful purposes.
The summit, the second global gathering on civilian nuclear power following the first edition in Brussels in 2024, drew leaders from nearly 60 countries, alongside representatives of international organisations, financial institutions, businesses and leading energy specialists.
Opening the event, French President Emmanuel Macron underlined the growing role of nuclear power in energy strategies of many countries, especially amid surging global electricity demand driven by rapid advances in digital technologies and artificial intelligence.
He noted that nuclear energy can deliver stable and large-scale power with low carbon emissions, helping enhance energy security while supporting the global energy transition.
Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Rafael Mariano Grossi emphasised that nuclear power could play a substantial role in meeting global climate targets.
