Vietnam has granted US$100,000 in emergency aid to the Philippines to help its residents overcome the consequences of the recent Washi tropical storm.

Deputy Foreign Minister Ho Xuan Son donated the aid to Philippine Foreign Secretary Albert del Rosario in capital Manila on February 20.

Son extended Vietnam’s condolences to the Philippine government and people over heavy human and property losses caused by the storm, and believed that the Philippines will soon overcome the consequences.

Washi slammed into the Philippines on December 16, 2011 and claimed nearly 1,000 lives.

Secretary Albert del Rosario thanked Vietnam for the aid, describing it as a vivid manifestation of the close-knit solidarity between the Philippines and Vietnam, as well as among countries within the Association of Southeast Asian Nations.  

Son is in Manila for the first session of the Vietnam-Philippines Commission on maritime and ocean affairs at the deputy foreign ministerial level.
