Robert Ogburn, Deputy Principal Officer of the US Consulate General in Ho Chi Minh City, said the investment was sourced from the Department of Defense’s humanitarian aid programme.
From 2000, the programme has provided more than US$40 million in aid to build infrastructure and schools for especially difficult and war-torn areas, hoping to improve the living conditions of local people.
The programme will be continued in Vietnam in the coming years, he said.
