Climate change is becoming increasingly severe, bringing with it the dangers of storms, floods, earthquakes and tsunamis that threaten the safety of nations.

With the joint efforts of society and the support of international friends, including the National Council of the Solidarity Front for the Development of Cambodia Motherland (SFDCM), Vietnam will soon overcome the consequences of the disasters, restore stability, and continue socio-economic development.
