"As a comprehensive strategic partner of Việt Nam, New Zealand stands in solidarity with the Vietnamese Government and people during this challenging time."

The ambassador expressed the hope that the support will swiftly reach those in need, contributing to emergency efforts and helping affected communities rebuild their lives. — VNS
