Earlier, the delegation presented similar gifts to quarantine facilities, medical centres and military units in Ho Chi Minh City, the southern province of Tay Ninh, and the northern province of Quang Ninh.

This is part of a programme carried out by the association across Vietnam over the past month, aiming to contribute to efforts to fight the COVID-19 pandemic.

VKBIA President Tran Hai Linh said the association wants to show the solidarity between the people of Vietnam and the Republic of Korea (RoK), thus contributing to enhancing friendship and solidarity between the two countries.
