During the historic floods that swept through Central Viet Nam, the enduring tradition of mutual support and compassion among the Vietnamese people was powerfully demonstrated through tangible acts of generosity. This spirit of national unity has long served as an internal strength, enabling communities to remain resilient in the face of natural calamities.

The northern provinces of Thai Nguyen, Cao Bang, Lang Son, and Bac Ninh will receive an additional 400 billion VND (15.18 million USD) in emergency relief from the 2025 central budget reserve to address the damage caused by torrential rains and flooding in the aftermath of Storm Matmo.

Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh has decided to allocate 140 billion VND (around 5.6 million USD) from the 2025 central budget contingency fund to help four northern provinces recover from recent floods.

Deputy Prime Minister Ho Duc Phoc on August 4 signed a decision on behalf of the Prime Minister to allocate an additional 300 billion VND (approx. 11.45 million USD) from the central budget’s contingency fund to support the flood recovery efforts in Dien Bien and Nghe An provinces.
