At the ceremony, reporting to the President of the Vietnam Fatherland Front Do Van Chien, Deputy Minister Le Thi Thu Hang said that upon receiving news that Typhoon No. 3 (Typhoon Yagi) had caused damage and greatly affected the lives of people in the country, the Vietnamese expats immediately organized a fundraising campaign for flood victims in Vietnam.
The Deputy Minister shared that these are the first donations from overseas Vietnamese through the State Committee for Overseas Vietnamese to be transferred to the Vietnam Fatherland Front to support people in flood-hit areas. Currently, the donation movement is continuing to spread strongly in communities in other countries.
The amount of donations, although not much, shows the sympathy and sharing of overseas Vietnamese for their compatriots in the country. The State Committee for Overseas Vietnamese will continue to be a bridge to transfer the sentiments and support of overseas Vietnamese to people in flood-hit areas.
On behalf of the Vietnam Fatherland Front and the people affected by natural disasters, President Do Van Chien thanked and appreciated the sentiments and timely sharing of overseas Vietnamese with the difficulties of their compatriots in the country. This also demonstrates the spirit of "the Overseas Vietnamese community is an inseparable part of the nation”.

with relevant agencies to transport necessities such as food, drinking water, vegetables... to people in areas affected by natural disasters such as Tuyen Quang, Thai Nguyen, Lao Cai, Yen Bai... He expressed his wish to continue receiving the sharing and cooperation of overseas Vietnamese for people in flood-affected areas.
