Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs Le Thi Thu Hang presented the Navy High Command with 63,500 USD donated by overseas Vietnamese (OV) to a program on greening Truong Sa (Spratly)

The donation was handed over during a visit by a delegation of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to offer greetings to the Navy High Command in the northern city of Hai Phong ahead of the Lunar New Year (Tet) festival.

The “Greening Truong Sa” program was launched by the Vietnam People’s Navy in 2023.

Hang, who is also Chairwoman of the State Committee for OV Affairs, noted that during the 2012-2023 period, the OV community donated 28 billion VND to build patrol boats and other facilities, and gave essential goods and gifts to soldiers and residents of islands and DK1 platforms, which are economic, scientific, and technical stations on Vietnam‘s southern continental shelf.
