This Fund has so far financed 35.5 million KW Dinars (around 121 million USD) and continues to play an important role in enhancing the mutual relations between the two countries.
Regarding Kuwait’s investment in Vietnam, one of the biggest projects is the Nghi Son Oil Refinery with total investment capital of 9 billion USD.

The Consulate General has also supported the establishment of the first discipline of Arabic studies at the HCMC University of Social Sciences and Humanities”, said the Consul General. He hopes that the cordial relations and cooperation between the two countries will be strengthened, especially in terms of education and human resource training.
