Vietnamese Ambassador to the RoK Nguyen Vu Tu thanked the organisations for their assistance, stressing that it is a valuable contribution to overseas Vietnamese nationals living, working and studying in the RoK amid the disease.

He said the embassy, through the Vietnamese Association in the RoK, will swiftly hand over the gifts to those most affected by the pandemic.
