At the event, Editor-in-Chief Le Quoc Minh said that Storm Yagi had severely affected 26 northern provinces and cities, including Lao Cai. In the spirit of mutual love and support, Nhan Dan Newspaper and its partners, including the Southeast Asia Commercial Joint Stock Bank (SeABank), SeAGreen Fund and BRG Group, decided to present Lao Cai Province with 68,000 trees worth 1 billion VND to join hands with the locality to overcome the consequences of storm Yagi, towards the goal of sustainable and long-term development.
The trees will support households affected by storm circulation in the Bao Yen and Bac Ha districts. The area of newly planted production forests is about 18.6 hectares.
