Vietnam to Hold Mid-term CG Meeting in Central Province
Vietnam Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung has agreed to hold the mid-term consultative group (CG) meeting in the central province of Ha Tinh in June.
The mid-term CG meeting is a forum for the Vietnamese government and donors to review the Vietnam’s socio-economic performance as well as the implementation of the country’s commitments to the previous meeting.
The event, which will be organized by the Ministry of Planning and Investment and the World Bank, also provides an opportunity to discuss measures to beef up coordination between the government and sponsors.
At this year’s CG meeting on December 7-8 in the capital city of Hanoi, international donors pledged to provide Vietnam with a total of $7.9 billion in official development assistance (ODA) for 2011.
Since the first CG meeting in 1993 in Paris, France, annual event is periodically organized in December. The mid-term CG meeting was introduced in 1998 and often takes place in June in different localities. (
