The Embassy also received EUR200 from Ms. Nguyen Thi Noi’s family, living in the capital Algiers.

Vietnamese Ambassador to Algeria Pham Quoc Tru said that this was a significant activity of the overseas Vietnamese community in Algeria to share and support people in the Central and Central Highlands regions to overcome the consequence of the storm, restore production and quickly stabilize their lives.
