The donors said their visit is aimed at studying war aftermaths in Vietnam to help tackle issues related to land mines and unexploded ordnances.

Colonel Ta Hung of the VVA’s Executive Committee, highlighted important contributions made by the veteran associations of Vietnam and the US to boosting ties between the two countries.

Later the same day, the VVMF’s donors visited the Van Canh Friendship Village in northern Ha Tay province, where war veterans affected by Agent Orange and their children are being taken care of. Later they met with President of the Vietnam Union of Friendship Organisations (VUFO) Vu Xuan Hong.

The donors are scheduled to check the results of a VVMF-funded project, entitled "Restoring the Environment and Neutralising the Effects of War", in central Quang Tri province.
