Government appeals to Japanese businesses for money and know-how

Vietnam's Da Nang Station, roughly halfway along the planned Hanoi-Ho Chi Minh City highway.


HANOI -- Facing fiscal constraints, Vietnam is turning to foreign enterprises for funding and expertise as it anticipates the need for $400 billion in infrastructure spending over the next decade.

Planning and Investment Minister Nguyen Chi Dung told The Nikkei that Hanoi is already in the process of crafting a legal framework to pave the way for foreign participation in building projects.

A real leader should do hard job, not easy one.
You should study Japanese infrastructure works in other countries.

If you believe you can control the whole process, then you should think again.

Even you treat them as dad, doesn't mean they see you as their son.

You are clueless.Japan is a country on the rise. A symbol of progress. Japanese infrastructure is world class. Japanese people are humble. What do you think, why vietnamese schoolkids learn Japanese language in elementary schools? I tell you We want to learn from the best.

Your answer shows you are a child in politics.
There is no necessary connection between Japanese and their policy.
They are same polite before WWII

It is you who is a child. What do behaviors of the Japanese in the past in China have anything relevant to Vietnam way to the future?

We seek $400b for infrastructure. It is perfect when the Japanese and Koreans provide us with the money. If we wait for China, we will wait for 1,000 years. Luckily we never listen to China otherwise we would still live on food stamps.

Indeed, bulk of investment should very likely be FDI from business corporations private sector.

need for $400 billion in infrastructure spending over the next decade.

The need is huge. After their private sector, rest of the investment would be from their government's ODA. My prediction is that their ODA to Vietnam alone should be about $80 billion (infrastructure and others) in the next decade, ODA is not only about infrastructure but may satisfy about 10-15% of total need.

On ODA/JICA, done through TCP (Technical Cooperation), ODA Loans, Grant Aid, DS (Development Study) and others. Useful details are here https://www.jica.go.jp/vietnam/english/activities/ . Many of those are infrastructure-related, e.g. expressways, ports, bridges, urban railway, hydro power, thermal power, transmission, irrigation system, water infrastructure, sewage, waste management, sanitary landfill, etc.

Five-year summary (2010-2014) of ODA in Vietnam, JPY2,691 billion (about $25 billion) disbursed directly, $15 billion via OECD/DAC, total $40 billion: http://www.mofa.go.jp/mofaj/gaiko/oda/files/000142552.pdf​

Guess you never work with Japanese. One of the most, if not the most arrogant people on earth I've ever worked with.

No not yet. But I have worked with the Germans, the Americans, the French, the Chinese, the Indians, the Singaporeans, the Turks. From all, the Germans are culturally the most difficult people, so most Vietnamese would say they are arrogant.
