First Vietnam-RoK friendship village inaugurated
A village named “Vietnam-the Republic of Korea (RoK) Friendship Village” was inaugurated in the southern province of Vinh Long on April 11, becoming the first of its kind in Vietnam.
In the first stage, the village, in Vung Liem town, Vung Liem district, provides 41 houses, each worth VND30 million (around US$1,500), for poor locals and those who lost their houses due to landslide.
The VND2 billion project saw the RoK side’s contribution of more than VND1.2 billion.
The district authorities are now campaigning for the implementation of the second stage of the project.
