Following reports of heavy rains and widespread flooding caused by Cyclone Ditwah in Sri Lanka, which have resulted in heavy loss of life and property, Vietnamese leaders on December 4 sent messages of sympathy to their Sri Lankan counterparts.

Vietnamese Ambassador to Sri Lanka Trinh Thi Tam and a working delegation from the embassy visited Sri Lanka’s Northern Province from November 17-19 to promote economic–trade cooperation, explore investment potential and enhance locality-to-locality ties between the two countries.
