DALAT Vietnam, July 22 (Reuters) - Vietnam called on Southeast Asian countries on Thursday to consider using nuclear power for peaceful purposes as Asia faces rising energy needs to fuel economic growth.
The countries should "promote cooperation on planning and energy policy to ensure security of energy supply and demand, extraction and conversion, transport and distribution of oil and gas", Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung said in the opening speech to a meeting of ASEAN energy ministers.
He urged members of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) to "consider the possibility of cooperation in using nuclear energy for peaceful purposes as a source of alternative low-carbon and sustainable energy".
The call followed a proposal by Russia to help Southeast Asian countries build nuclear power plants and develop its use.
