To boost the Vietnam-WB cooperation, both sides should target to major goals, including connecting WB's loans for 2011-2015 with the country's socio-economic development plan for 2011-2015, especially in infrastructure, poverty reduction, human resource training, and response to climate change, PM Dung added.
The PM requested the WB to continue increasing International Development Association (IDA) credits sourced from the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (IBRD) to fund Vietnam’s projects to cope with climate change.
James Adams said the WB will accompany Vietnam on its way to socio-economic development . The WB will continue maintaining the loans with preferential interest rates for Vietnam to help it develop infrastructure, poverty reduction and response to climate change, he said.
