Deputy Prime Minister Tran Luu Quang on July 31 called for acceleration of Asian Development Bank (ADB) financed projects, while hosting ADB Country Director for Vietnam Shantanu Chakraborty in Hanoi.

Vietnam’s maintaining the momentum of public investment will be crucial because it will rejuvenate economic activities, generate employment, and enhance domestic consumption, said ADB Country Director for Vietnam Shantanu Chakraborty.

Ho Chi Minh City appreciates contributions of the Asian Development Bank (ADB) to its socio-economic development, and always considers the bank an important development partner, a municipal leader has said.

Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc has asked the Asian Development Bank (ADB) to finance gender equality projects aside from infrastructure construction in Vietnam.
