He spoke highly of the role of the EDCF in cooperating with Viet Nam to effectively implement ODA projects, especially in infrastructure development, bringing practical results and contributing to Viet Nam’s socio-economic growth. 

He asked the EDCF to continue working closely with the Vietnamese side to implement the assistance funds, worth US$1.5 billion in the 2016-2020 period.

Besides joining hand with the Vietnamese side to launch ODA projects, the EDCF will enhance the provision of preferential loans for the two sides’ firms to carry out public-private partnership projects in Viet Nam, said Mr. Kim Tae Soo.
