Speaking at the ceremony, Chau Van Chi, chairman of the Khmer - Vietnamese Association, thanked VUFO and the friendship association for the support and concern of overseas Vietnamese. He said the association would quickly send the sum to needy households.

Previously, VUFO President Nguyen Phuong Nga and Vu Vuong Viet, standing vice president of the Vietnam - Cambodia Friendship Association, sent a letter of greetings to Chi.

They also said they appreciated the Khmer - Vietnamese Association's contributions in alleviating the difficulties of local residents and persuading them to comply with the local government's decision. At the same time, they encouraged people not to move boats and rafts to Vietnam.

"With the spirit of solidarity, mutual affection and the desire to accompany the Khmer - Vietnamese Association in Cambodia in activities for the Vietnamese people in Cambodia, the VUFO and the Vietnam - Cambodia Friendship Association hope this small sum will partly help people overcome the immediate difficulties, step by step stabilize their lives," they wrote in the letter.
