ĐÀ NẴNG — US Ambassador to Vietnam Marc Knapper and a delegation of US veterans visited the centre for Agent Orange/dioxin victims and unfortunate children in the central city of Đà Nẵng on Friday.

During the event, the ambassador and delegates offered gifts, expressed their support, and participated in cultural and sporting activities with the children.

In his remarks, Knapper stressed that children of both the US and Việt Nam represent their future. The US remains committed to supporting and standing side by side with Việt Nam in its path to become a strong, independent, and resilient country.

Nguyễn Văn An, Chairman of the municipal Association of Victims of AO/Dioxin and Director of the centre, noted that the facility currently cares for ninety children, all of whom are victims of the war. It provides them with opportunities for play, education, vocational training, and health improvement.

Visits from such delegations bring significant joy and encouragement to the children, helping them overcome difficulties and thrive, he said. — VNS
