Vietnam seeks more WB aid
Play
Deputy Prime Minister Nguyen Thien Nhan has proposed the World Bank increase both financial and technical aid for Vietnam so the country can successfully implement its economic reform programme.
Nhan made the proposal while receiving Tunc Uyanik, director of Global Financial Systems Practice and manager of the Financial and Private Sector Development Unit for East Asia and the Pacific at the WB in Hanoi on August 15.
He spoke highly of financial and technical assistance and policy consultations the bank has given to Vietnam over the past time.
The deputy PM also said that the government has approved a project on innovations targeting people on low income financed by the WB.
The project aims to call on organisations and businesses to apply new technology to create products and services for low-income earners.
Tunc Uyanik, the bank’s vice president, said the agency will support Vietnam’s ongoing programmes and continue providing resources for the country to speed up the implementation of these programmes.
