The PM assigned the Ministry of Construction (MoC) to ratify and sign the agreement with the Danish Embassy.

According to the MoC, Viet Nam now has 755 urban areas and a rate of urbanization of 31% which can reach 50% by 2025. Currently, 68 water supply companies are operating Viet Nam and feeding around 70% of the urban population.

However, water loss has become a challenge in the urbanization process when up to 29% of clean water is lost.
