The donation will be transferred to the Central Committee of the Vietnam Fatherland Front (VFF) this month and will then be used in order to purchase items for relief work in areas affected by the typhoon  and flooding.

Many provinces and cities throughout the north of the nation are suffering from the great damage caused by landslides and floods as a result of typhoon Yagi, the strongest storm to hit the country over the past 30 years.

According to VOV, Ji Dong-seop, a representative of the SK Supex Council - the top decision-making body of SK Group, said that no words can comfort the Vietnamese people who lost their families and homes due to the typhoon. Hopefully, SK Group will be able to contribute a small part to helping Vietnamese people to quickly overcome the consequences of this disaster and return to normal life soon.

SK Group has made many investments in Vietnam over the past 30 years, such as signing a strategic co-operation agreement with VinGroup and engaging in various business fields such as real estate, shopping malls, and electric vehicles.

Furthermore, SK Group also co-operates with the Vietnamese corporation Masan Group in the distribution and food sectors, while participating in charity activities of free smile operations for Vietnamese children every year since 1996 and supporting surgeries for about 4,300 children in many provinces and cities nationwide./.
