The gifts, including 20,000 face masks, were passed on to the State Commission for Overseas Vietnamese (SCOV) and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MoFA) at a ceremony in Hanoi on June 22nd.

Speaking at the ceremony, Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs and head of the SCOV Dang Minh Khoi lauded the support from the centre and the association and said Vietnamese Buddhism has worked side-by-side with the government and people to counter the disease.

Thanks to the efforts of the entire country as well as the government’s leadership, Vietnam has been successful in the fight so far, he said, adding that many agencies, organizations and individuals in and outside Vietnam have donated medical supplies to help overseas Vietnamese cope with the pandemic. 

He emphasized that such good deeds affirm the Party and State’s policy of considering overseas Vietnamese an integral part of the country.

According to the committee, overseas Vietnamese have contributed more than VND35 billion (USD1.5 million) as well as medical supplies to help with the fight against the epidemic at home.

The Vietnamese community in the RoK raised over VND160 million in support of the fight in their homeland.

Meanwhile, many businesses, organisations, and individuals at home have also raised funds for Vietnamese in the UK, France, Russia, the US, and the RoK./.
