Vietnam will be one of the three countries to receive 10.8 million JPY (90,000 USD) annually to develop human resources in the field, in effect until 2021. 
It forms part of the MoU in urban building and development cooperation between the two countries signed in January. 
Currently, Japan plans to expand practical training schemes for overseas workers due to a shortage of construction labourers to meet an expected building boom ahead of the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.
