According to Hoang Van Thang, Deputy Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development and Standing Deputy Head of the Central Steering Committee on Natural Disaster Prevention, the bad weather forecast in the upcoming days may cause inconvenience for the APEC Economic Leaders’ Week.

To prepare for the situation, Da Nang city on November 1st issued a plan on coping with bad weather during the APEC Economic Leaders’ Week, which has been disseminated to agencies, departments and localities for more detailed action plans. In addition, natural disaster prevention forces will be on duty around the clock to be ready to cope with possible natural disasters.
