At a reception for Chairman of the US Foundation for Humanity Rennie Davis in Hanoi on August 15, Phong voiced his hope to receive more assistance from international friends, including those from the US, in handling post-war consequences in Vietnam.
He hailed the foundation’s initiatives which aim to heal the scars of war via friendship exchanges and medical supply for Vietnamese AO victims.
Rennie Davis, in reply, said his visit is due to study potential for cooperation with Vietnam in realising the “Vietnam-US Initiative” which covers activities to help AO victims in the central city of Da Nang, along with preparing for an exchange programme between the two countries’ people scheduled for October 2017.
He pledged to carry out more activities to help Vietnamese AO victims and contribute more to enhancing people-to-people exchange.
