“Vietnamese people are now making every effort to fight against the COVID-19 pandemic. Therefore, the AEON Group decided to donate 25 billion VND to Vietnam’s COVID-19 vaccine fund. We hope that AEON’s donation will support Vietnam to realise the goal of early vaccination for all people,” said Furusawa Yasuyuki, General Director of AEON Vietnam.
Yasuyuki added that the AEON Group will continue to stand side by side with the community and Vietnamese Government in the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic, work with the government in realising the dual goals of "maintaining and developing the socio-economy" and "fighting against the pandemic" toward a sustainable future in Vietnam.
