Ambassador Nguyen Ba Hung, embassy staff, and representatives of Vietnamese agencies in Laos, together with Vietnamese businesses operating in Laos and representatives of the Vietnamese community in Vientiane, participated in the donation.
Addressing the ceremony, Ambassador Nguyen Ba Hung called on Vietnamese people who are working, living and working in Laos to promote the spirit of mutual assistance to help their compatriots in the central region overcome difficulties caused by natural disasters and quickly stabilize their lives.
