The Party and Government of Laos have decided to present 1,000 cubic metres of wood to help Vietnamese people in the central region overcome the aftermath of tropical storm Ketsana.

On the occasion, the Myanmar government has also decided to donate US$50,000 as emergency aid to the victims, and the money has been transferred to the Vietnamese Embassy in Myanmar.

Storm Ketsana, which swept across the central region three weeks ago, killed more than 160 locals and caused major damage to property and crops.
