The Government of Denmark has decided to grant facilities and equipment worth 500,000 USD to help Viet Nam control bird flu.
The facilities were handed over to the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development at a ceremony held in Ha Noi on July 13.
In the immediate future, equipment and facilities worth 202,000 USD will be allocated to eight northern provinces and 10 southern provinces. The remaining facilities will be distributed at a later date.
In 2004, the Government of Denmark granted Viet Nam 300,000 USD worth equipment and chemicals to combat bird flu epidemic.
