According to Chairman of the Hanoi People's Committee Nguyen Duc Chung, the Covid-19 evolution is still complicated, thus, international cooperation and solidarity is needed to curb the pandemic spread and minimize its impacts on every country in the world.
Vietnam appreciates drastic measures that the French government has taken to control Covid-19 infection in the community and Vietnamese citizens always share with the French people’s difficulties in the fight against Covid-19, the Hanoi mayor added.
"Although the gift is not highly valuable financially and unable to meet actual needs of the epidemic prevention in your country, I believe it is meaningful in this difficult time of the ravaging pandemic," Chung stressed.
For his part, French Ambassador to Vietnam Nicolas Warnery expressed his sincere thanks for Hanoi’s meaningful gift.
