At a reception for Michael Greene, USAID Director, in Hanoi on December 7, the
Deputy PM highlighted the agency’s humanitarian aid to Vietnamese Agent Orange
(AO)/dioxin victims and dioxin remediation in the country, along with its
projects on HIV/AIDS prevention, climate change response and settlement of
natural disaster and post-war consequences.
Michael Greene said the USAID has cooperated with Vietnam for many years,
through projects that provide technical support in the fields of national
management and economic development.
The agency is designing two projects worth more than 50 million USD in
non-refundable aid, aiming to help Vietnam implement a programme on trade
facilitation and supporting Vietnamese small-and medium-sized enterprises
(SMEs) to participate in the global supply chain, he noted.
In this regard, Deputy PM Hue stressed the Vietnamese Government’s consistent
policy of strongly improving the domestic business environment, which has
jumped 23 places over the past two years.
He urged experts and officials of the USAID to team up with officials of the
Vietnamese Ministry of Finance to identify contents of the USAID-funded
project.
The Vietnamese Government also wishes to promote the private economic sector,
connect SMEs together as well as Vietnamese firms with their foreign
counterparts, Hue said.
He said the Ministry of Planning and Investment will be assigned to develop a
framework for the aforementioned project.
The projects selected by the USAID are suitable with Vietnam’s current needs,
Hue said, adding that the Vietnamese Government welcomes and will assign
relevant ministries and agencies to implement the project effectively.

Muong Bi - Tan Lac, one of the four major Muong ethnic minority-inhabited regions in Hoa Binh, is known for not only its distinctive cultural identity but also its proud history of heroism, with great contributions to the victory against US invaders in the past. Today, Tan Lac district continues to uphold this legacy while embracing development and renewal.
March 3 marked the first official working day for specialised agencies under the provincial People's Committee following the merger or transfer of functions and tasks from the previous agencies. On this day, the newly merged departments and agencies took proactive steps to arrange personnel, organise workflows, and implement tasks efficiently, ensuring that administrative procedures were carried out smoothly without interruption.
Kim Boi district of Hoa Binh province has thoroughly implemented and adhered to Resolution No. 18-NQ/TW on restructuring the organisational apparatus of the political system towards a streamlined, efficient, and effective direction, ensuring no disruption of work.
By mid-February, Da Bac district completed a plan to streamline its organisational apparatus and personnel work, marking a milestone in efforts to promote restructuring towards a leaner, more efficient organisational system, closely following directives from the Party Central Committee’s Resolution No. 18-NQ/TW, and Conclusion No. 121-KL/TW, and Resolution No. 27-NQ/TU of the provincial Party Committee and Conclusion No. 1103-KL/TU by the provincial Party Organisation’s standing board.
Imbued with President Ho Chi Minh's teaching "The Party cell are the Party’s grassroots foundations. A strong Party cell ensures the effective implementation of the Party’s policies and continuous progress in all tasks," the Party Committee of Kim Boi commune, Kim Boi District, has rolled out the "four-good Party cell" model. The initiative has created a positive change, enhancing the leadership capacity and fighting spirit of Party organisations and their members.
