As a practical and meaningful support activity, the donation also shows the concern of the Vietnamese Government, as well as of both Korean and domestic businesses for the Vietnamese community in the ROK, while demonstrating the friendship between the two peoples.
Speaking at the handover ceremony, Nguyen Hoanh Nam, Ambassador-Vice Chairman of the SCOV, highly appreciated the gift from CME and HSV, saying that this donation shows the two companies’ great kindness and is a meaningful gesture to overseas Vietnamese in this peak period of COVID-19.
“This difficult time helps us to be aware of the social responsibility, the contribution needed from enterprises in the fight against COVID-19 pandemic, which can be seen in their donations to the Party, State and people, including overseas Vietnamese. This reaffirms that overseas Vietnamese are an indispensable part of our country,” Nam stated.
Following the call of Party General Secretary and State President Nguyen Phu Trong, as well as the programme on "Mobilising all people to support the fight against COVID-19” called by Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc and launched by the Vietnam Fatherland Front (VFF) last March, overseas Vietnamese around the world have made donations with a total amount of more than VND34 billion, along with many gifts and medical supplies for the fight against COVID-19 in Vietnam, the diplomat added, adding that the overseas Vietnamese community in the ROK has donated over VND160 million VND to the VFF.
