In 2017, most parts of the country suffered from severe natural disasters, causing an estimated 60 trillion VND (2.64 billion USD) in economic losses and leaving about 380 people dead and missing, Thanh said.

The Rok Government, via the ASEAN 3 Emergency Rice Reserve (APTERR), donated 10,000 tonnes of rice to Vietnam, he noted, adding that the second shipment of rice will arrive at Da Nang Port in Da Nang city on March 17.

The amount will be sent to victims in the central provinces of Thua Thien-Hue, Quang Nam, Quang Ngai and Quang Tri, he said.

On the behalf of the beneficiary provinces, Vice Chairman of the People’s Committee of Khanh Hoa Dao Cong Thien thanked the RoK Government for the aid and pledged to dispatch the rice to people in need as soon as possible.
