At the presentation event at the Huu Nghi International Border Gate, Secretary of the Lang Son Party Committee Lam Thi Phuong Thanh said her province sympathises with the difficulties that China, including the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, is facing in the combat against the nCoV-caused acute respiratory disease.

She affirmed that Lang Son, and Vietnam as well, always stands side by side with Chinese forces and localities to synchronously and drastically carry out solutions to control the epidemic.
