Thứ Tư, 15/07/2015
Ilan Fluss,
Deputy Director of Israel’s
Agency for International Development Cooperation under the Israeli Ministry of
Foreign Affairs (MASHAV), said the agency considers HCM
City as one of focuses in Israeli
cooperation with Vietnam.
Fluss made the
remark in his meeting with Le Thanh Liem, Vice Chairman of the HCM City
People’s Committee, on July 14 to review activities of the experimental
demonstration project on raising dairy cows using high technology in the
city.
The project is
part of the cooperation programme between MASHAV and the city’s Department of
Agriculture and Rural Development with a total cost of VND70 billon (US$3.21
million), US$1 million of which is non-refundable official development
assistance.
The project,
which aims to cut costs, increase productivity, transfer technology and expand
models, was initiated in 2011 and went into operation in August 2013 across an
area of 9.8 hectares.
HCM City
is seeking international cooperation in hi-tech agriculture and has already
heavily invested in its hi-tech agriculture park and bio-technology centre.
