Speaking at the event, Vietnamese Consul General in Savannakhet Dang Thi Hai Tam said the gifts aim to partly share difficulties with the local authorities and residents that have been affected by the recent floods.
Accordingly, the delegation presented a tonne of rice and 6 million LAK to Savannakhet, a tonne of rice and instant noodles to Khammouane, and a tonne of rice and 9.4 million LAK to Bolykhamxay.
The Lao authorities thanked the delegation for their help and pledged to soon deliver the gifts to the victims in affected areas.
Since the beginning of August, prolonged heavy rains have caused landslides and disrupted transportation in the central provinces of Laos, seriously affecting the lives of local people./.
