Prague (VNA) – The ASEAN Committee in Prague (ACP), the Czech Republic, on February 13 donated food supplies to the Czech Federation of Food Banks, which will distribute them to people in need.

As the current chair of the ACP, Thailand led this year’s charity event. The Thai Ambassador, along with the Ambassadors of Indonesia, Malaysia, Myanmar, the Philippines, and Vietnam, handed over essential food and foodstuff to representatives of the food bank. These donations will soon be distributed to the needy in the Czech Republic, helping them overcome difficulties.

He said that this effort not only provides humanitarian aid but also strengthens solidarity and cooperation among ASEAN nations and with the Czech Republic./.
