Denmark will provide 150,000 USD to help repair and upgrade roads in Can Loc district in the central province of Ha Tinh, which were severely damaged by floods in October.

A document to this effect was signed in Hanoi on Dec. 15 by Danish Ambassador John Nielsen and Bui Huy Tam, chairman of the Can Loc people’s committee.

Addressing the signing ceremony, Ambassador John Nielsen said he hoped the support would help promote economic development and enhance income-generating opportunities for the local people to get on their feet again after the flooding.

In the October calamity, Ha Tinh province was the most seriously affected. Can Loc district was among the province’s heavily devastated localities, with losses of people and property.

The support is expected to help the province and the district repair and upgrade the road in Vuong Loc commune, promptly putting the road into operation and allowing local people access to surrounding areas./.
