Some people think that developing countries need financial help from

international organizations. Others think that it is practical aid and advice that
is needed. Discuss these views and give your own opinion.
People have different views about the measures to assist poor nations. While some
people think that financial support is essential for those countries, I am of the
opinion that practical aid and advice are more long-term and effective assistance.
On the one hand, it is undeniable that financial aid can help developing countries
combat starvation and poverty. With the low-interest debts from international
investments, the poor can improve the infrastructure by constructing more roads,
hospitals and other public services. Therefore, citizens in those places can benefit
enormously from this support. Vietnam, for example, could afford the erection of
high ways and sky railways thanks to the debts at low interest from China, so
Vietnamese people can avoid traffic problems. Furthermore, this is also win-win
cooperation for both investors and receivers. A telling example is that the financial
aid from the Korean government in Vietnam coincides with the construction of
many factories such as Samsung, which take advantage of a cheap labour source
and a potential market, while the latter also has more employment opportunities.
On the other hand, I strongly believe that the aforementioned solution is only
workable for a short time and increases the reliance of countries in poverty on
other giants. Without this funding, the poor will be incapable of maintaining their
economic development. Therefore, it is better to give advice by providing
opportunities for the poor to learn knowledge and experience from the affluent.
For instance, some prestigious Japanese universities provide excellent students in
Vietnam, Campuchia and India with scholarships to enrich their professional
understanding. After that, they can make contributions to their homelands.
Additionally, many international workshops about medical care, business and so
on are also a practical aid so that undeveloped countries can adapt a wealth of
knowledge and experience learned to increase the prosperity and position.
In conclusion, the additional funding to support poor nations is not a sustained
solution, albeit effective, so I think practical aid and advice are better.
