According to a news report, Japan will resume government aid to a US$41 million railway in Hanoi once Vietnam returns a $782,000-bribe its state railway firm received from a Japanese contractor to grant them the project. A representative of Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA), said Japan will continue providing official development assistance (ODA) to the project after Vietnam returns the money Tokyo-based Transportation Consultants (JTC) Inc. had bribed executives at Vietnam Railways, the country’s state-owned railway operator.
