Hai Phong’s support demonstrates profound solidarity with people in provinces suffering damage from Typhoon Bualoi.
On October 2, a delegation from the Hai Phong Committee of the Vietnam Fatherland Front, led by Pham Van Lap, Deputy Secretary of the city Party Committee and Chairman of the city Vietnam Fatherland Front Committee, visited and provided aid to people in provinces affected by Typhoon Bualoi.
Specifically, Hai Phong provided 5 billion VND to Ha Tinh province and 3 billion VND to each of Ninh Binh, Thanh Hoa, Nghe An, and Quang Tri provinces.
