Health care and poverty reduction are EU’s
focus in its assistance to Vietnam in future, EU Commissioner for Development
Andris Pieblgs has affirmed.
At a
press briefing in Hanoi on March 29 on the occasion of his Vietnam visit,
Commissioner Andris Piebalgs said in many ways, Vietnam can be seen as a
"success story" of development.
The
country has succeeded on lifting millions of citizens out of poverty through
successful reforms, and is on the way to achieve all the Millennium Development
Goals by 2015.
Piebalgs
said he had discussed with Vietnamese leaders how to build on the country’s
success, focusing on bilateral development cooperation.
The
European Union will not change its aid commitment to Vietnam in spite of the
country’s achievements in poverty reduction in order to bring greater benefit
to Vietnamese people in a shorter time, he affirmed.
Regarding
human resource development, Piebalgs said that young human force is Vietnam’s
advantage.
The EU
can become Vietnam ’s partner in developing its human resource by offering
scholarships to Vietnamese students, he said.
EU is
currently Vietnam’s largest donor with 754 million EUR in official development
assistance committed for 2012.
