According to an announcement by Japan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs on December 12, the aid will be delivered to Vietnam through international organisations as soon as possible.
Speaking at a press briefing, Japanese Minister of Foreign Affair Motegi Toshimitsu said the assistance reflects Japan’s commitment to supporting countries affected by natural disasters. Of the total amount, 1 million USD will be used to provide essential relief supplies through the International Organisation for Migration, while 500,000 USD will be channelled via the United Nations Children’s Fund to support clean water provision and environmental sanitation services in affected areas.
Meanwhile, Brazil is also moving to support Viet Nam’s recovery efforts. In recent days, organisations, businesses and individuals in Brazil have responded to a call by the Brazil–Viet Nam Chamber of Commerce to contribute to relief activities.
On the government side, the Brazilian Cooperation Agency under the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has indicated that it is studying appropriate support measures for Viet Nam.
During a recent working session with a delegation from the Communist Party of Viet Nam Central Committee's Commission for Strategic Policies and Strategies, led by Vice Chairman Nguyen Duc Hien, the agency said it was considering ways to assist people in flood-hit areas of central Viet Nam.
The Brazilian Cooperation Agency also expressed its willingness to share experience in disaster management, flood response and post-disaster reconstruction, areas in which Brazil has accumulated practical expertise in recent years.
In addition, several Brazilian enterprises operating in logistics, agriculture and supply chain services are considering further assistance, including support for transport costs and donations of relief goods to be sent to Viet Nam.
