“I would like to express France’s solidarity with Vietnam after the devastation of typhoon Yagi, which has claimed the lives of hundreds of people and caused severe damage. We stand ready to provide support,” the President wrote on Twitter, now X, on September 12.

Many newspapers in France also reported on human and property losses in Vietnam following the storm, one of the strongest to hit the country in decades.
