JICA aids Vietnam’s expressway construction

This second loan for fiscal year 2010 will be used for the building of Ho Chi Minh – Long Thanh – Dau Giay section and the Da Nang – Quang Ngai section, part of the North-South expressway.

They are expected to help boost the development of two economic zones in the southeast and south central regions once they open to traffic.

This year marks the Japanese government as Vietnam’s largest donor, which has provided official development assistance to the country 19 consecutive years.
