| Japan helps Vietnam manage the expressway | |
Deputy Minister of Transport Ngo Thinh Duc and Chief Representative of the Japan International Co-operation Agency (JICA) in Vietnam, Tsuno Motonori signed a memorandum of understanding in Hanoi on May 25 about a project to provide technical assistance for Vietnam to operate and maintain the expressway. Under the framework of the project, the JICA will assign Japanese experts to help Vietnam issue regulations and instructions concerning the operation and maintenance of the expressway, while supplying technical equipment and organising training courses in both Japan and Vietnam. Funding for the project worth US$2.2 million will come from non-refundable aid of the Japanese Government. Management of three sections including belt No. 3, Phap Van-Cau Gie and Cau Gie-Ninh Binh, will take the form of On-The-Job Training (OJT). As part of its master plan, Vietnam will build 2,500km of expressway by 2020 and 5,800km by 2030.
