Hello!
It can be a spontaneous act of compassion, a deliberate strategy for promoting global stability, or a calculated investment in future markets. Although we may not always agree on why it should occur, today's topic seems a permanent fixture of international relations in an increasingly interdependent world.
FOREIGN AID / ODA 対外援助/政府開発援助
- Foreign aid is money, food, supplies, etc., that a country or organization gives to another country.
Official development assistance or ODA is foreign aid given to support the development of poorer countries. - foreign aid は、国や組織が他の国に提供する、お金や食糧、必需品などのことです。
official development assistance、略して ODA は、貧しい国々の発展を支援するために提供される対外援助のことです。
