Many expats have responded to letters of appeal from the Vietnamese Embassy in the Federal Republic of Germany, for the call for assistance from the Central Committee of the Vietnam Fatherland Front.

 

As a result, the Vietnamese community has raised funds and has sent representatives to the Vietnam Embassy's headquarters in Berlin to donate money to support the fight against Covid-19 in Vietnam.

 

Most recently, the representative of the Executive Committee of the Hai Phong Association of People in Germany gave Euros 4,470 to the Embassy to send home to support the prevention of Covid-19 in the homeland.

 

Previously, the Golden Lotus Charity Association also gave the representative of the Embassy Euros500 to support pandemic prevention.

 

Many associations such as the Vietnamese community in Magdeburg and surrounding areas, the Vietnamese community in Westsachsen Zwickau and many individuals and organizations have also joined hands to support people in the country to fight the pandemic, especially by contributing to the Covid-19 vaccine fund.

 

At the reception, Ambassador Nguyen Minh Vu expressed his appreciation for the support of people in domestic difficulties during Covid.

 

The ambassador updated people with new developments regarding the pandemic in the country and said that Covid-19 prevention needed the cooperation of individuals and organizations at home and abroad.

 

The goal is for Vietnam to have sustainable access to vaccines so that it can effectively respond to the pandemic.

 

The Vietnamese Government's decision to establish the Covid-19 vaccine fund is to mobilize the contributions of the whole society, both domestic and overseas Vietnamese people, towards purchasing vaccines and cooperation in vaccine production.

 

By the end of June, the Vietnam Embassy in Berlin had received Euros20,970 in contributions for domestic pandemic prevention and control back home.

 

Embassies in Russia have also raised funds as well, and expect more funds to arrive to support the Vietnamese Covid-19 Vaccine Fund .
