Hanoi's Party chief ordered the allocation of VND7 billion (US$305,000) from Hanoi’s relief fund to the five hardest hit localities.

Vietnam’s top leader asked local Party committees, governments, the Vietnam Fatherland Front and agencies to urgently prevent and fight floods and storms.

The natural disaster evolution in Vietnam's central region is still very complicated and its impacts are likely to be even greater.

As Covid-19 remains unpredictable globally, it would be a “big mistake” if Vietnam relaxes the vigilance against the pandemic, Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc has said.

A tourism development forum with the participation of Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City and major provinces/cities in the central region, is slated to take place in Quang Nam province on November 27-28.
