Foreign-invested projects get PM’s approval

Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung has given the go-ahead to a German-funded project to help increase public participation in urban management.

The 785,000 EUR project, funded by the German Konrad Adenauer Stiftung Institute, will be implemented between 2009-2012.

The PM has also approved a project on Vietnam-Finland partnership for renovation work. The project will receive US$3.75 million in non-refundable aid from the Finnish government out of a total investment of US$4.3 million.

He has also given the greenlight to three projects in the agricultural sector that are being put into action by the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development and the Australian Centre for International Agricultural Research.
