Chinese Ambassador to Vietnam Hong Xiao Yong handed over the money to the Vietnam Red Cross Society (VRCS) on November 8, and extended his sympathy to the affected people.

The ambassador expressed his hope that the aid will partly help the flood victims overcome consequences and stabilise their lives.

VRCS Chairwoman Nguyen Thi Xuan Thu said the sum will be used to build 40 flood-proof houses for residents in the central province of Quang Binh who have recently suffered heavy losses from the devastating floods.

Over the past years, RCSC has supported VRCS in personnel training. In July, RCSC also granted 700,000 Chinese yuan (100,000 USD) to a project designed to improve natural disaster adaptation for communities.
