Vietnam donates rice to drought victims in Angola
Vov/Hanoitimes 16:59, 2014/06/04
The Vietnamese Embassy in Angola recently handed over 23 tonnes of rice to the southern province of Namibe which was severely affected by the prolonged drought.

This was the result of a fund-raising campaign launched by the Embassy and the Vietnamese community in Angola in late 2013 to support Angolan victims of the drought, as well as flood victims in central Vietnam and Truong Sa (Spratly) islanders.
 

 

At the hand-over ceremony, deputy governor of Namibe province Alcides Cabral thanked Vietnamese people in Angola for helping Angolan people overcome the aftermath of the drought.

He said he believes the aid will contribute to promoting friendship between the two countries.

The rice volume, estimated at US$35,000, will be delivered to victims in drought-stricken areas soon.

In December 2013 the Vietnamese expatriates in Angola raised US$6,000 for flood victims in central Vietnam and Truong Sa islanders.
