Speaking at the launch ceremony, President of the Vietnamese Fatherland Front (VFF) Do Van Chien praised the VRSC’s initiative, which is calling on the whole society to join hands for a safe and healthy community, especially amid the complicated developments of Covid-19.
He asked the VRSC to identify its core tasks and enhance its position and influence in the field of humanitarianism.
The VFF President stated that a part of the Vietnamese population in remote and disaster-prone areas are facing a great deal of difficulty and are in need of support.
Chien therefore called on agencies, organisations, enterprises, businesspeople, philanthropists and the people as a whole to continue working with the VRCS to help poor and disadvantaged people so as to create a safe and humane society.
