Accordingly, 15 tons of rice will be delivered directly to the Phnom Penh Red Cross Society to help disadvantaged people in the pandemic area through the four rice ATMs, owned by Hoang Anh Tuan, Mr. “Rice ATM”, who has sponsored and presented to Cambodia during the Covid-19 outbreak in 2020.

Receiving the gift, Consulate General of Cambodia Sok Dareth highly appreciates the fact that Vietnamese young people have joined hands with the Cambodian people, described the gift as a meaningful and timely contribution to Cambodias’ efforts to combat the pandemic and also the sentiment and time-tested friendship between Vietnam and Cambodia in general, always standing side by side and sharing with each other in difficult times.

Together we will overcome the Covid-19 pandemic, he said.
