At the ceremony, Ambassador Ha Kim Ngoc welcomed Tran Group’s attention towards their home country.

The embassy has collected a total of US$ 55,000 from its officers and employees and the Vietnamese community in the United States to aid the country’s Covid-19 prevention and control.

In addition, many Vietnamese experts and intellectuals in the United States have joined hands with the Vietnamese embassy and representative agencies in seeking the Covid-19 vaccine sources, Ngoc said.

The affection and care of Vietnamese expats in the United States in particular and over the world in general is a great encouragement for the country to soon curb the pandemic and restore the economy.

For more than a year, despite living in the world’s Covid-19 hotspot and encountering many difficulties, the Vietnamese community in the United States has mobilized and kicked off many fund-raising campaigns to support the country.

In particular, when people in the central region were hard-hit by floods last year, overseas Vietnamese in the United States promptly provided relief aid.

Several Vietnamese doctors in California have also volunteered to join the Covid-19 battle at home.

Earlier, the “Unite for Vietnam" program initiated by Vietnamese youth and student associations in the United States mobilized money and items worth US$ 70,000 to help flood-stricken people as well as the country’s Covid-19 prevention and control.

Now, it is continuing to call for contributions for the “10,000 doses of Covid-19 vaccine for Vietnam” campaign, aiming to collect US$ 50,000 by the end of June.

Foreign Minister Bui Thanh Son on June 17 handed over VND 6.2 billion to the Vietnam Fatherland Front Central Committee to support the Covid-19 vaccine fund and the fight against the pandemic.
