At the handover ceremony at the Azerbaijan Embassy in Hanoi, Chairman of the friendship association Nghiem Vu Khai said the gift comes from the heart of former Vietnamese students in Azerbaijan, who want to share the difficulties with the Azerbaijan people.   

He added that the association on April 26 collected VND25 million (more than US$1,000) to help three Azerbaijan citizens who lost their jobs in Vietnam’s Phu Quoc island under the impact of the COVID-19.

Azerbaijan Ambassador to Vietnam Anar Imanov thanked the Vietnamese people in general and the Vietnam-Azerbaijan Friendship Association in particular for the meaningful present. He expressed his belief that the two countries will overcome difficulties and reap success in the fight against the epidemic.
