Italy funds water-for-the-poor programme
More underprivileged Vietnamese will be given better access to clean water via a new EUR2.4 million programme funded by Italy.
An agreement on the funding was signed between Deputy Minister of Finance Truong Chi Trung and Italian Ambassador to Vietnam Lorenzo Angeloni in Hanoi on November 15, the Quan doi Nhan dan (People’s Army) daily reported on November 16.
The daily says this is the follow-up of a programme which has benefited 150,000 poor people in its first phase.
