WB pledges more help to Vietnam

World Bank Country Director, Victoria Kwakwa, assured Deputy Prime Minister Hoang Trung Hai of continued assistance in construction and legislative work during their meeting in Hanoi on Nov. 23.

She highlighted the WB’s efforts in co-sponsoring a workshop on November 24 to get feedback from investors, both at home and abroad, as well as international experts and Governmental agencies on the creation of a supportive framework for public-private projects on infrastructure as well as for finance and project management.

For his part, Deputy Prime Minister Hai sought stronger assistance from the WB in personnel training, information campaigns and law making.

“Projects in infrastructure construction normally draw multi-party involvement, which requires intensive personnel training and streamlined procedures in conducting projects so as to attract increased investment into this field from the private sector,” said Hai.
