The project is also a continuation of the series of planning projects on both banks of the Huong River sponsored by KOICA, and at the same time reflects the close cooperation relationship between Hue and KOICA, in line with the vision of the comprehensive strategic partnership between Vietnam and Korea.

Mr. Hoang Hai Minh expressed his deep gratitude to KOICA, and highly appreciated the efforts of the Project Management Board, Project Management Consultant and the YUNGCHANG contractor consortium in ensuring the progress and quality of the project.
