Also as part of the project, an area to display the effects of the chemicals on nature will be created as well as an exhibition centre at Bot Do intersection and a rehabilitation centre for Agent Orange (AO)/dioxin victims.
A Luoi district, which was once a fierce battlefield during the war against the US and suffers from serious AO/dioxin contamination, has been selected to house the memorial site.
The construction is estimated to cost 625 billion VND (29.7 million USD), to be sourced from the State budget and both international and domestic donations./.
