Japan diplomat thanks company for timely help
The Japanese Ambassador to Vietnam has
expressed thanks to the Song Da-Viet Duc Investment Joint-stock Company
for its provision of a 58m-tall concrete pumping vehicle to help
Japan in its effort to deal with nuclear problems.
Yasuaki Tanizaki told the Company Chairman and General Director,
Nguyen Van Bay, at their meeting in Hanoi on March 24 that the
vehicle will be used to deal with problems at nuclear power plants
affected by the recent earthquake and tsunami, to minimise any possible
disaster.
The Song Da-Viet Duc company was
reported to have ordered two 58-60 m tall concrete pumping vehicles made
in Germany, each worth over 30 billion VND (roughly 1.63 million USD),
one year ago. When the devastating twin disaster rocked the northeastern
region of Japan, the two vehicles were in transit in the country.
Having received a proposal from Japan for help, the company’s chief
instantly agreed to provide one of them.
Bay said
he considered the provision of the vehicle to Japan as necessary,
although the company was still in need of production machinery.
“It is a practical expression of sympathy for the twin disaster
victims in Japan as well as thanks for the Japanese government and
people for their valuable assistance to Vietnam in socio-economic
development,” said the CEO.
Bay also took this
opportunity to hand the Japanese ambassador 100 million VND as aid from
his company to the Japanese construction association TSCE to contribute
to the reconstruction of material infrastructure in disaster-hit
areas./.
