A working team from the SFD has inspected a number of projects it is funding in some localities of Vietnam including a transport infrastructure project in the northern province of Yen Bai, the Embassy said. The Yen Bai project aims to build a 30-km road at the cost of over 20 million USD, benefiting about 12,000 locals. 

The team also visited a 10 million USD project to build a 20-km road to the centre of Tan Yen commune in northern Lang Son province. Once completed, the project will serve about 10,000 local residents. 

During the visit, the team had a working session with representatives of the Ministry of Industry and Trade and the Ministry of Finance on the progress of the projects.
