A seminar entitled “The Asian Development Bank’s consultancy and the
national partnership strategy for the 2012-2015 period” took place in
the southern province of Binh Duong .
The event
brought together representatives from almost 100 domestic and foreign
businesses which are operating in the province.
ADB
representatives praised Vietnam ’s efforts to realise the target of
becoming an industrialised country by 2020 as well as its achievements
in poverty reduction and response to natural disasters and climate
change.
The bank pledged to continue provide more
loans for Vietnam to achieve greater successes in these fields,
especially in social development, health care and education.
Participants were told that the ADB is the third largest international
provider of official development assistance (ODA) capital to Vietnam
.
Vice Chairman of the provincial People’s Committee
Tran Thanh Liem said that the bank has contributed remarkably to the
province’s socio-economic development, particularly to technical
infrastructure, environmental and water supply projects.
Binh Duong needs more capital from ADB and other international donors
to develop its housing, road and environmental projects in the next five
years, he said./.
