An agreement to this effect was signed in Hanoi on June 22, under which Hiep Hoa primary school in Vinh Bao district and Tien Minh primary school in Tien Lang district will be built at a cost of US$95,000 and US$88,.000, respectively. 

Located in the two coastal communes that have suffered from frequent floods, the schools, which were built more than 40 years ago, have been seriously damaged and cannot accommodate the increasing number of students. 

Addressing the ceremony, Japanese Ambassador to Vietnam Mitsuo Sakaba expressed his belief that the projects will bring happiness to the school’s staff and students, contributing to boosting solidarity, friendship and mutual understanding between the two countries.
