The Government of France will complement the ADB assistance by extending about 100 million EUR over ten years to help develop the university, while the Government of Vietnam will provide 23 million USD.
The Government of Japan, through the Japan International Cooperation Agency, is supporting the development of Hoa Lac High Tech Park, where USTH will be built.
