The project has a total investment capital of USD 41.68 million, including an expected USD 32.46 million in ODA loans from the EDCF (Korea). Tuyen Quang affirmed that all preparatory work and counterpart funding arrangements had been completed, and requested that the Korean side promptly issue a capital commitment letter and finalize negotiations and signing procedures to implement the project.

The participation of the Tuyen Quang delegation in the meeting helps strengthen cooperation between the province and Korean agencies, while opening opportunities to access ODA and preferential loans to support infrastructure development and promote the province’s socio-economic growth in the coming period.
