Vietnam Donates $100,000 to U.S. Hurricane Victims

The Vietnamese government will provide US$100,000 in relief to victims of Hurricane Katrina, including overseas Vietnamese, Foreign Ministry spokesman Le Dzung said Thursday.

Dzung said Vietnam was ready to send medical workers to the storm-hit regions through the Red Cross.

He added that Vietnamese were deeply moved by the great loss of life and property in a number of US states, especially Lousiana, Mississippi, and Alabama.

Deputy Foreign Minister Nguyen Duc Hung met US Ambassador to Vietnam Michael Marine September 8 to apprise him of the Vietnamese Government's decision, Dzung said.
