is the newly signed project is part of the Japanese government's nonrefundable aid program in the fiscal year of 2017 for social issues in Vietnam. The signing was also to celebrate the 44th anniversary of the establishment of Japan-Vietnam diplomatic relations.

With the 83,186 USD aid package, a 400-square-meter two-storey vocational building, with 2 vocational classrooms, 2 storage rooms, 2 physical rooms and other facilities, will be built at Hanoi Birla Children's Village.

Japanese Ambassador to Vietnam Kunio Umeda said, "I am very happy supporting the village, and I expect that the Birla Children's Village will use the building effectively. I also hope that the children in the village will improve their working skills to live independently in the future. They are the bridge connecting the two nations and promoting Japan-Vietnam friendship.”
