First trip to Hanoi vietnam

On January 21-26, Liu Xin, Shizhen and Gan Zhang paid a fruitful visit to Hanoi of Vietnam. The group was invited by Professor Tu Mihn of VNU Hanoi. We were able to visit respectively VNU University of Sciences, Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment (VNU University of Natural Resources and Environment), as well as Vietnam Academy of Science and Technology (VAST).  We had intensive discussions with our Vietnam collaborators including Prof Mihn, Drs Tri and Thang, with collaboration plans set up. In between of the academic visit, we were also able to visit the beautiful Halong Bay for a relax.

Dr Rose Alani and PhD student Olumide visited the group from Dec 2 to 16, partly attended the MSR training course but stay after it in the laboratory to work on their samples from Lagos. Good luck to them, and we hope the collaboration with Lagos University could go on successfully.

Cordially Malaysia

On October 21-25, Liu Xin, Shizhen and Zhang Gan payed a fruitful visit to University of Malaya (UM) and University of Malaysia Terrengganu (UMT). In Terengganu, I gave a talk entitled ‘Fate of POPs in marine environment: from coastal to the open sea’, then we had a technical discussion with Dr Le Quang Dung (黎光勇) in UMT on the development of SCP in Ho Chi Minh City of Vietnam. We also had time slots for short visits to the beautiful sand beach, the crystal mosque,  as well as the China Town in Terrengganu. In Kuala Lampur, we were very happy to meet our long time collaborator/friends, Dr Bon Chui Wei (黄翠薇)and Professor Pauzi Zakaria. We agreed to upgrade the MoU between GIG and UM. It cannot be neglected as an important success that I received from Chui Wei a his-beloved new-version UM mug.

Dr Le (黎)is originated from Vietnam. He obtained his PhD in Tokyo University. We will work together on environmental health in Ho Chi Mihn City of Vietnam.

Let us talk about POPs in marine environment.
