In the 2014-2015 period, Denmark will disburse US$90 million in official development assistance to Vietnam, said Danish Ambassador to Vietnam John Nielsen in a press conference held on June 10 in Hanoi.
According to the ambassador, the capital, which is a non-refundable assistance, will be poured into the green growth, climate, private sector development, water and sanitation, culture and governance activities.
The Danish support also comprises a comprehensive cultural support program, with a focus on supporting artists and performers.
“We trust that our development assistance will support the Vietnamese Government’s effort to fight poverty and promote a more sustainable economic development,” said Ambassador John Nielsen during the press conference.
Since 1994, Denmark has provided over US$1.3 billion in ODA for Vietnam. According to the latest European Union Blue Book, Denmark is the biggest provider of non-refundable assistance among EU member states in Vietnam, with the assistance accounting for nearly 25 percent of the total non-refundable assistance fund provided by all EU member states.
