(VOVworld) - Denmark will raise its aid to Vietnamese private enterprises in the fields of food safety and clean technology. The Danish Embassy in Hanoi said on Friday that a business cooperation program, funded by the Danish International Development Agency (DANIDA), will raise its support towards Vietnam’s sustainable growth and employment. Since 1997, the program has donated more than 74 million USD to 300 pilot projects and over 150 long-term partners in Vietnam, many of them still running their business in the country, even after DANIDA ended its financial aid.  Danish Ambassador John Nielsen expressed his belief that the program, together with other business support tools supplied by the Danish agency, would contribute to Vietnam’s program of poverty reduction.
