Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh has called the rebuilding and repairing of houses destroyed or severely damaged by recent storms and floods a mandate from the heart, urging all authorities to see it not as a normal political mission but as a moral commitment to the people.

Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh, the Deputy Prime Ministers, and staffs of the Government Office and the Government Party Committee’s assistant agencies each donated at least one day’s salary to help residents in areas devastated by recent storms and floods, at a fundraising ceremony hosted by the agencies in Ha Noi on October 3.
