They raised fund in support of disaster victims at home, he said, adding that his company also invested in a wind power project worth USD 200 million in Vietnam’s central province of Ha Tinh, which was mentioned in a Memorandum of Understanding during Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc’s visit to the Czech Republic in April 2019.
