The Malaysian government has provided 50,000 USD in support for central province residents affected by storms and floods in late 2010.

Malaysian Ambassador to Vietnam Dato Lim Kim Eng presented the donation to Vice President cum General Secretary of the Vietnam Fatherland Front Central Committee Vu Trong Kim on March 10 in Hanoi.

Addressing the presentation ceremony, Vice President Kim thanked and spoke highly of good deeds performed by the government and people of Malaysia, which, he said, contribute to highlighting traditional solidarity and friendship between the two countries’ people as well as further affirming the solidarity among ASEAN member countries.

He pledged to promptly hand over the donation to the victims.

For his part, the Malaysian diplomat said this was the second time the Malaysian government has offered its support for Vietnam’s central province residents who were hit by storms and floods in 2010. He said he hoped that the assistance would help the victims develop production.
