Spokesperson Pham Thu Hang from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs shared the information while responding to a media question on international assistance for Viet Nam’s post-flood recovery at the ministry's regular press conference in Ha Noi on November 27.
She said that authorised agencies will deliver this support directly to affected areas and to impacted residents.
The spokesperson noted that many localities in Viet Nam have recently suffered historic floods and successive natural disasters, causing severe human and material losses.
She said that in recent days, many touching stories have emerged of foreign friends and tourists joining Vietnamese people from various provinces and cities, and local authorities, to assist flood-hit communities in different ways. She underlined that such gestures demonstrated strong international solidarity and humanitarian support for residents as they worked to overcome hardship.
“The Government and the people of Viet Nam deeply appreciate this timely, practical and invaluable support,” Hang emphasised.
