Through a statement, the Bolivarian Chancellery also lamented the loss of “valuable infrastructure” as well as landslides due to “devastating floods that have hit the provinces of the north-east of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam, including Cao Bang Yen Bai and Lao Cai”.

“The Bolivarian Government of Venezuela wishes to convey its words of support to the families and friends of the victims in this unfortunate event,” he added.

He also expressed his “deep admiration” for the “courage and heroism” of the rescue teams and all those who are working “tirelessly” to help the people affected.
