The aid package was signed on March 28 at the Japanese embassy in Hanoi.

Envoy of the Japanese embassy Jun Yanagi said he was honoured to sign the four assistance projects on behalf of the Japanese people.

He added that a good learning environment for rural children would be the foundation for their personal development, and that basic healthcare services are essential to a healthy and happy life.

On behalf of the recipients, Chairman of Dao Duong commune in Hung Yen province Chu Minh Tinh thanked the Japanese government for their assistance and hoped the Japanese side would provide more support in the future.
